GASTROENTERITIS
Definition;
Gastroenteritis is an upset
stomach. It causes nausea and
vomiting. It is sometimes called
stomach flu, caused by viruses
and bacteria.
The gastrointestinal tract is a
muscular tube made by
epithelial cells. The individual
components of the
gastrointestinal system are oral
cavity, salivary glands,
esophagus, stomach, small
intestine and large intestine.

ORAL CAVITY: Mechanical breakdown of food occurring in mouth.
Insalivations and absorption of small molecules such as glucose and
water are the functions of oral cavity

SALIVARY GLANDS : 3 pairs of salivary glands present ,which
produce saliva

ESOPHAGUS : It is a muscular tube which extend from pharynx to
stomach .It acts as a transport medium between compartments.

STOMACH : Stomach is a “j” shaped bag located just left of the
midline between the esophagus and small intestine. Its functions are
• The short term storage of ingested food
• Mechanical breakdown of food
• Chemical digestion of proteins by acids, enzymes
 VIRAL:
E.g.; Rotavirus ,
Adenoviruses, Norovirus , Parvovirus
and Astroviruses

BACTERIAL; E.g.; Salmonella,
Shigella, E- coli, Clostridium deficit
 PARASITES
AND PROTZOANS: E.g.;
Giardia, Cryptosporidium
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Predisposing Factors
- Age
- Malnutrition
Direct Invasion of the
bowel wall
Excessive gas formation
GI Distention
ACUTE GASTROENTERITIS
Precipitating Factors
- Contaminated
Food and Water
Ingestion of fecally
contaminated food and
water
Endotoxins are released
Stimulation and
Destruction of mucosal
lining of the bowel wall
Attempted Defecation
Digestive and
Absorptive Malfunction
Secretion of food and
electrolytes in the
intestinal lumen
Increase Peristaltic
Movement
Mild Diarrhea
Fluid and Electrolytes
Imbalance
Increased Protein in the
Lumen
LI is overwhelmed and
unables to reabsorb
the lost food
Intense diarrhea >10times
watery stool
Serious Fluid Volume
Deficit
Hypovolemic Shock
Death
Book Based

PATIENT TREATMENT
A.G.E is usually an acute and
 Treated with
self limiting disease that does not
 IV Fluids,
require medication
 ORS solution,
The preferred treatment in
those with mild to moderate
 Inj. Perfalgan 200mg iv
dehydration is oral rehydration
prn,
therapy, metaclopromide or
 Voltaren suppository
ondansteron if needed
12.5mg prn
If it is viral :
soft anti diarrheal diet
Oral rehydration
IV Fluids
Bacterial: Antibiotics
 Pseudomembraneous
enterocolitis ( usually only
seen in those who are taking antibiotics)
 Gastro intestinal bleeding
 Dehydration
 Electrolyte Imbalance (Hypokalemia,
Hypernatremia)
 Shock
 Sepsis ( secondary bacterial infection )

Altered fluid volume deficit due to diarrhea and
vomiting

Altered electrolyte imbalance due to diarrhea and
vomiting

Imbalanced nutrition less than body requirement due to
less food intake

Hyperthermia related to infection

Lack of skin integrity due to severe loose stool

Helps to
promote
hydration
To avoid
dehydration
Helps to provide
fluids , calories
and electrolytes
To maintain

Will determine
if output
exceeds input
Fiber and solid
food may cause
gastric irritation
EVALUATION
After 12 hours of
nursing
intervention the
goals was partially
met as evidenced
by :

Frequency of
diarrhea
decreased

Still
dehydration

No fatigue

No vomiting

Excessive
clothing may
elevate
temperature
High
temperature
causes
coagulation
of cell protein
and cell die.
High
temperature
leads to brain
damage
To prevent
dehydration
To prevent
electrolyte
imbalance
To reduce
body
temperature
EVALUATION
After 2 days of
nursing
intervention the
goals are fully
met.

No fever

No weakness

Fully
nourished
 Encourage
the mother to feed the baby
with a nutritious diet which is not harmful
to the stomach
 Advise to increase the activities gradually
 Advise the mother to prepare the food in a
hygienic manner
 Advise the mother to maintain the
personal hygiene of the baby
 Encourage rest to the baby
Patient relieved from signs
and symptoms. Discharge
