Neuromuscular Activities of the Stomach
Receptive relaxation (vagal stimulated),Antral peristalsis (trituration and emptying),3 cycle per min slow waves (pacemakerrhythm),Antropyloroduodenal coordination,Normal vagal and splanchnic neural function
Describe differences in solid phase and liquid phase gastric emptying
liquid phase- 50% empty in 30 min...faster than a solid that requires mixing phase
Describe five major causes of neuromuscular dysfunction of the stomach
Impaired Fundic Relaxation, Antral hypomotility, Vagal nerve dysxn, dysrhythmias, Abnormal fundic emptying, pylorospasm
List six categories of gastroparesis
Gastroparesis is defined as GET >6hrs
1.Obstuctive gastropareis2.Ischemic gastroparesis3.Diabetic gastroparesis (type 1 and 2)4.Postsurgical gastroparesis (antrectomy,  vagotomy, fundectomy, fundoplication)5.Miscellaneous Causes (CVD, amyloid, MD)6.Idiopathic gastroparesis (?postviral, ?drug-induced, ?degenerative or inflammatory processes-smooth muscle, enteric n., interstitial cells of Cajal, ANS)
Define the three phases of gastric and small bowel motility during fasting
Phase 1--- no contractions (10 min quiescence)Phase 2--- increased, random contractions(70 min)Phase 3 (migrating motor complex-MMC)---5-8 min of strong antral-small bowel contractions that migrate to ileum every 90-100 minutes
Sx for Abnormal Gastric Neuromuscular events
Early Stiety, nause, prolonged postprandial fullness, RUQ pain, nausea, pain, bloating
Epigastric Pain
Localized epigastric pain/burningLocalizedIntermittentNo relief with defe-cation or flatus
Postprandial Distress
Postprandial fullnessEarly satiationNausea+; BloatingChronic Idiopathic Nausea+
Treatment approaches for Gastric Neuromuscular disorders
metoclopromide- but has cns side effects. other drugs arent approveddevices like gtubes, and electrical stimulation
Nausea/vomiting (gastroparesis) diet
Step one-gatorade and boullion
Step 2- soupds
Step 3- Starches, chicken and fish
Fed pattern small bowel motility
segmental and short duration peristaltic contractions
