An overview of the pathogenesis of esophageal varices and the treatment of acute GI bleeds in cirrhosis. Also covered are the basic anatomy of the hepatic portal system, and TIPS (transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts).
What is portal hypertension? Portal hypertension means increased blood pressure in the hepatic portal system - or portal venous system. Most commonly, this happens because of hepatic cirrhosis, which is when the liver tissue is replaced by fibrotic, functionless tissue.
Banding, Bleeding, Cirrhosis, and complications of esophageal varices. What should the nurse know and how should they take care of the patient.
Bleeding varices is a condition characterized by bleeding in abnormal vessels.
• Varices are abnormal connections between the systemic and portal circulation present in the body.
.
• Varices commonly occur in the venous system, but they may sometimes occur in arterial or lymphatic vessels.
• The most common site of varices is the esophagus although they can appear at other sites in the gastrointestinal such as the stomach, rectum, or around the belly button.
• If the bleeding is not controlled fast, a person may go to shock and eventually die.

IMPORTANT POINTS: Administer Terlipressin 2mg IV repeated every 4 to 6 hours. Some guidelines(i.e NICE guidelines) recommend avoiding use of PPI unless patient has known peptic ulcer disease. Administer Platlet Transfusions to patients who are actively bleeding and have platlet count less than 50,000. Give Vit K to patients if INR is prolonged.

[@rosemariya5351]

Sir if propranolol causes vasoconstriction by blocking beta2 receptor, it should increase the pressure in the portal circulation right... So how is it going to relieve portal hypertension? As we have studied, vasoconstriction causes increased peripheral resistance and therefore blood pressure increases

[@furqanulhaq1782]

explained very well sir, great job

[@MedNerdDrWaqasFazal]

Thank you Saad ❤️

[@saugatasantra6774]

Willing to know if a cirrohtic patient's haemoglobin is falling too quickly then can he go for endoscopic variceal ligation inorder to prevent the internal bleeding?? & can the patient have a stable haemoglobin rate after endoscopic variceal ligation?

[@shayanazizkhattak5776]

Good explanation!

[@MedNerdDrWaqasFazal]

Thank you Shayan! 😊

[@AethicGlassworks]

Wow, clicked through cus I saw a comment of yours on medcram. Really dig this explanation, and I have no medical background whatsoever. So what's life like for people who've had to have TIPS performed on them? Do they lose all liver function or does it retain some of its functionality?

[@MedNerdDrWaqasFazal]

Thank you very much for such nice comments. I am glad you understood everything. Patients who get TIPS are the ones who have really bad cirrhotic liver that has already lost much of its function. One study trial shows that people undergoing TIPS procedure live upto 2 years on average & 5 years at max. Complication of ammonia toxicity and accumulation is treated by lactulose if not controlled, rifaximin is administered. TIPS is done to control variceal only when we have exhausted all other options.

[@AethicGlassworks]

@@MedNerdDrWaqasFazal dang, sounds like a brutal way to go. Thanks for the explanation again! Keep up the awesome work! These are very informative!

[@anjum.mehmood3730]

Dr sb are their ways people could have known about these varicose before developing

[@mehranlaghari118]

Aslam alekum sir Sir is R/L safe in CLD will it not cause raised lactate level And sir what about use of tranxemic acid in acute management of hemaptasis

[@gopalmaity63]

I am not a medical student. But my mother's esophageal varices surgery has done. So I came here to know well. Does she need to take lactulose syrup on a daily basis?

[@drasadmasood572]

Sir kindly made another video on this topic. we also want to know that how many days b blockers may be continued. Also terlipressin. How many days we continue antibiotics and which antibiotics are we should continue

[@MedNerdDrWaqasFazal]

Sure I will upload another video in more detail. 😊

[@chandrakantyadav514]

AFTRR doing all these procedures how will be the prognosis 0f patient

[@zohrafarooq5782]

What is the dose of octreotide and total duration??

[@kayraydv0504]

What to do when bleeding is not stopping then how to do endscopy

[@anonymous-td2wy]

Do we do band ligation only when the pt is hemodynamically stabilized? I’m a new nurse sorry if its a silly question.

[@MedNerdDrWaqasFazal]

All the steps must be taken to stabilise the patient first after which you can go for endoscopy and band ligation. Band ligation can also be considered as a part of stabilisation of patient as to stop further bleeding.

[@anonymous-td2wy]

@@MedNerdDrWaqasFazal thank you
