- 2. PORTAL HYPERTENSION • Portal hypertension refers to elevated pressures in the portal venous system. Venous pressure more than 5 mm Hg greater than the inferior vena cava pressure is defined as portal hypertension. • Clinically significant portal hypertension is present when gradient exceeds 10 mmHg. • • Risk of variceal bleeding increases beyond a gradient of 12 mmHg
- 5. PRE HEPATIC • Portal vein Thrombosis • Splenic vein thrombosis • Massive spleenomegaly • Congenital portal atresia • Phlebitis of portal vein • Pancreatitis • Trauma • Hypercoaguable states
- 6. HEPATIC 1. Presinusoidal: • schistosomiasis ( parasitic flatworm infection) • Congenital hepatic fibrosis 2. Sinusoidal: • Cirrhosis of liver • alcoholic hepatitis 3. Postsinusoidal: • Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction (veno-occlusive syndrome)
- 7. POST HEPATIC • Budd-Chiari Syndrome – hepatic venous thrombosis • Inferior vena cava obstruction • cardiac causes: • Restrictive cardiomyopathy • Constrictive pericarditis • Severe congestive cardiac failure
- 8. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY • Increased resistance to portal blood flow. • Gradual reduction in the flow of portal blood to the liver • Development of collateral vessels, allowing portal blood to bypass the liver and enter the systemic circulation directly. • Portal flow increases in the splanchnic bed due to splanchnic vasodilatation and increased cardiac output • Portal hypertension
- 10. Diagnostic measures 1. Blood count 2. Liver function tests 3. Indirect measurement of portal pressure 4. Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy 5. USG 6. MRI 7. Liver angiography 8. Arteriography
- 11. COMPLICATIONS • Variceal bleeding • Congestive gastropathy • Hypersplenism • Ascites • Iron deficiency anaemia • Renal failure • Hepatic encephalopathy
- 12. Management •General measures •Specific measures A.Treatment of oesophageal varices B.Treatment of ascites
- 13. 1. General measures •Anti coagulation for budd chiari syndrome •Treatment of hepatic cause
- 14. 2. Management of bleeding varices 1.ADMIT PATIENT TO ICU 2.SECURE 2 LARGE BORE I.V LINES- ADMINISTER RINGER LACTATE 3.MONITOR VITALSIGNS AND URINE OUTPUT 4.BLOOD TRANSFUSION 5.CORRECT COAGULOPATHY 6.PREVENT HEPATIC ENCEPHALOPATHY • Bowel wash – to decrease ammonia from gut • Lactulose-acidifies colon • Oral neomycin-1gm 6 hrly-it suppresses urease containing bacteria
- 15. 2. Management of bleeding varices 7. ENDOSCOPIC EXAMINATION IF BLEEDING IS SEVERE. • Oesophageal balloon tamponade (sengstakenblakemore tube) to achieve temporary haemostasis • Sclerotherapy • Banding( varix banding) 8. DRUGS • VASOPRESSIN: 20-40 Units IV in 200 ml of 5 % dextrose IV over 10 minutes and may be repeated at 2-4 hrs intervalsuntil bleeding stops • OCTREOTIDE: 50 microgram bolus followed by 50 microgram/hr infusion for 5 days
- 16. 2. Management of bleeding varices 9. SURGICAL • TRANS JUGULAR INTRAHEPATIC PORTOSYSTEMIC STENT SHUNTS • Splenectomy • Gastroesophageal devascularization • Oesophageal transection • Liver transplantation
- 17. 3. MANAGEMENT OF ASCITES • SALT RESTRICTION • STOP ALCOHOL • CORRECT ELECTROLYTE IMBALANCE • DIURETICS-SPIRINOLACTONE • IV ALBUMIN THERAPY • ABDOMINAL PARACENTESIS • SHUNT SURGREY( PEROTONEOVENOUS SHUNTING) • TIPSS- transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt • LIVER TRANSPLANTATION
- 18. NURSING CARE PLAN • Excess fluid volume ralated to compromised regulatory mechanisms as evidenced by ascites, jugular vein distension, anasarca • Measure I/O • Weigh daily • Assess respiratory status and cardiac dysrhythmias • Measure abdominal girth • Monitor serum albumin and electrolytes • Restrict sodium and fluids
- 19. NURSING CARE PLAN • Ineffective breathing pattern related to ascites and fatigue • Monitor respiratory status • Check level of consciousness • Monitor ABG • Supplemental oxygen • Paracentesis • Shunting procedures
- 20. NURSING CARE PLAN • Risk for injury related to abnormal blood profile, portal hypertension and varices • Check signs of bleeding • Monitor vital signs • Encourage use of soft toothbrush, electric razor, avoiding straining for stool, vigorous nose blowing, and so forth. • Use small needles for injections. • Supplemental vitamins: vitamin K, D, and C. • Assist with insertion and maintenance of GI tube.
