FINAL DIAGNOSIS

Page 22: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

ACUTE GASTROENTERITIS

Page 23: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

• Acute gastroenteritis is a leading cause of childhood morbidity and mortality and an important cause of malnutrition.

• Dehydration and electrolyte losses associated with untreated diarrhea are the main causes of morbidity and mortality of childhood AGE

• Diarrhea can also be the initial signs of non-gastrointestinal tract illness, including meningitis, bacterial pneumonia, otitis media, intussusception and UTI

INTRODUCTION

Page 24: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

• The passage of unusually loose or watery stools, usually at least 3 times in a 24-hour period.

ETIOLOGY

Acute Gastroenteritis

Viruses.

•Rotavirus (most common).•Calicivirus.•Astrovirus.

Bacteria•Campylobacter jejuni.•Salmonella.•Shigella.•E.coli.•Clostridium difficile.

Parasites.•Entamoeba histolytica.•Giardia lamblia.

Page 26: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

CLINICAL TYPES OF DIARRHOEAL DISEASES

Page 27: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

• Moderate to severe dehydration. • Need for intravenous therapy (as above). • Concern for other possible illness or uncertainty

of diagnosis. • Patient factors, e.g. young age, unusual

irritability/drowsiness, worsening symptoms. • Caregivers not able to provide adequate care at

home. • Social or logistical concerns that may prevent

return evaluation if necessary.

INDICATIONS FOR ADMISSION TO HOSPITAL

Page 28: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

• Objectives : to assess whether the child is dehydrated and to determine the etiology of the acute gastroenteritis

HISTORY AND PHYSICAL EXAMINATION

Page 29: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION

Page 30: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

ASSESMENT & MANAGEMENT OF

ACUTE GASTROENTERITIS

Page 31: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

DEGREE OF DEHYDRATION

Page 32: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

• Start intravenous (IV) or intraosseous (IO) fluid immediately. • If patient can drink, give ORS by mouth while the drip is

being set up. • Initial fluids for resuscitation of shock: 20 ml/kg of NaCl

0.9% or Hartmann solution as a rapid IV bolus. • Repeated if necessary until patient is out of shock or if fluid

overload is suspected. • Review patient after each bolus. • Calculate the fluid needed over the next 24 hours: • Fluid for Rehydration (fluid deficit) + Maintenance (minus

the fluids given for resuscitation). • Fluid for Rehydration: % dehydration X body weight (g) • Maintenance fluid (NaCl 0.45 / D5%) 1st 10 kg = 100 ml/kg; 10-20 kg = 1000 ml/day + 50 ml/kg for each kg above 10 kg >20 kg = 1500 ml/day + 20 ml/kg for each kg above 20 kg.

PLAN C: TREAT SEVERE DEHYDRATION QUICKLY

Page 33: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

CLINICAL FEATURES OF SHOCK

Page 34: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

• Unconscious child. • Continuing rapid stool loss ( > 15-20ml/kg/hour). • Frequent, severe vomiting, drinking poorly. • Abdominal distension with paralytic ileus, usually caused

by some antidiarrhoeal drugs (e.g. codeine, loperamide ) and hypokalaemia.

• Glucose malabsorption, indicated by marked increase in stool output and large amount of glucose in the stool when ORS solution is given (uncommon).

• IV regime as for Plan C but the replacement fluid volume is calculated according to the degree of dehydration. (5% for mild, 5-10% for moderate dehydration).

OTHER INDICATIONS FOR INTRAVENOUS THERAPY

Page 35: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

• Stool culture is required if the child appears septic, if there is blood or mucus in the stool or child is immunocompromised• Full blood count• Renal profile (plasma electrolytes, urea, creatinine) & blood glucose if IVD required or there is features suggestive of hypernatremia• Blood culture if to start antibiotics

INVESTIGATIONS

Page 36: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

• Oral rehydration therapy.– Use to treat mild to moderate dehydration.– Consist of :

i. Sodium chloride (NaCl).ii. Potassium chloride (KCl).iii. Trisodium citrate.iv. Glucose.

PHARMACOLOGICAL AGENTS

Page 37: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

Antimicrobials Antibiotics

• Majority of gastroenteritis cases in children are viral in origin (rotavirus, norovirus, adenovirus). Thus, antibiotics are only needed for specific pathogens or defined clinical settings.

• Antibiotics are indicated in the following situations:Shigella dysentery - in cases presenting as bloody diarrhoea, should be treated with an antimicrobial effective for

ShigellaWhen cholera is suspectedWhen diarrhoea is associated with another acute infection

such as pneumonia and UTIMay be indicated for Salmonella gastroenteritis in very

young babies (< 3 months), immune-compromised, immuno- suppressed, systemically ill, achlorhydia

THE MANAGEMENT OF ACUTE DIARRHOEA

Page 39: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

THE MANAGEMENT OF ACUTE DIARRHOEA

Page 40: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

Silicates – diosmectite (Smecta®)

• Binds to selected bacterial pathogens and rotavirus• restore integrity of damaged intestinal epithelium• reduce stool output and duration of diarrhoea• shown to be effective in rotavirus diarrhoea• maybe used as adjunctive to ORS• no side effects

ANTI-DIARRHOEAL AGENTS AND OTHER THERAPIES

Page 41: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

Antiemectics• Anti-emetics such as dimenhydrinate, metoclopromide, domperidone and promethazine may cause sedation that can interfere with oral rehydration therapy

PHARMACOLOGICAL AGENTS

Page 42: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

ANTI-DIARRHOEAL AGENTS AND OTHER THERAPIES

Page 43: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

• Probiotics – Probiotics has been shown to reduce duration of diarrhoea in

several randomized controlled trials. – However, the effectiveness is very strain and dose specific.– Only probiotic strain or strains with proven efficacy in

appropriate doses can be used as an adjunct to standard therapy.

• Zinc supplements – Able to reduce the duration and severity of the episode and

lower the incidence of diarrhoea in the following 2-3 months. – WHO recommends zinc supplements as soon as possible after

diarrhoea has started. – Dose up to 6 months of age is 10 mg/day, and age 6 months and

above 20mg/day, for 10-14 days.

PHARMACOLOGICAL AGENTS

Page 44: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

• Undiluted vs diluted formula - No dilution of formula is needed for children taking

formula milk.

• Soy based or cow milk-based lactose free formula - Not recommended routinely. - Indicated only in children with suspected lactose

intolerance.

NON PHARMACOLOGICAL / NUTRITIONAL STRATEGIES

Page 45: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

SPECIAL CONSIDERATION

Type of Dehydration.

Isonatraemic.

•Sodium losses = water losses.

•Plasma sodium remains within normal range

Hyponatraemic

•Sodium losses > water loses.

•E.g : children with diarrhea drink large quantities of water or other hypotonic solutions

•Shift of water water from extra- to intracellular compartment

•Increase in brain volume convulsion

•More common in poorly nourished infants (in developing countries)

Hypernatraemic.

•Water losses > sodium losses.

•Usually result from high insensible water losses (high fever or hot, dry environment) or from profuse, low sodium diarrhea

•Shift of water from intra-cellular into extracellular space

•Transient hyperglycemia occurs in some

Page 46: Acute Gastroenteritis CME

• Acute gastroenteritis is usually self-limiting, but if untreated it can lead to morbidity and mortality secondary to water loss and electrolyte and acid-base disturbance. • Dehydration secondary to gastroenteritis is a

significant cause of morbidity and hospital admission• Parent should diligent hand washing and do

not sharing same towel with infected child• Child should not return to childcare or school

until 48 weeks after last episode of diarrhea
