Choroba wrzodowa żołądka i dwunastnicy
Charakterystyka, pielęgnacja i opieka

Choroba wrzodowa żołądka i dwunastnicy (PUD) charakteryzuje się obecnością owrzodzeń błony śluzowej, które wymagają kompleksowej opieki pielęgniarskiej obejmującej szczegółową ocenę bólu, nawyków żywieniowych, stosowanych leków (zwłaszcza NLPZ i aspiryny), badanie fizykalne oraz monitorowanie parametrów życiowych i objawów krwawienia (hematemeza, smoliste stolce). Kluczowe diagnozy pielęgniarskie to m.in. ostry ból związany z uszkodzeniem błony śluzowej, ryzyko krwawienia, zaburzenia odżywiania, lęk oraz deficyt wiedzy. Cele opieki obejmują redukcję bólu do poziomu 2-4 w skali 0-10, utrzymanie prawidłowego nawodnienia (ciśnienie skurczowe ≥90 mm Hg, HR 60-100/min, diureza >30 ml/h), stabilizację masy ciała oraz zapobieganie powikłaniom takim jak krwawienie, perforacja czy niedrożność.

Choroba wrzodowa żołądka i dwunastnicy – pielęgnacja i opieka pielęgniarska

Choroba wrzodowa żołądka i dwunastnicy (ang. Peptic Ulcer Disease – PUD) to schorzenie charakteryzujące się występowaniem otwartych ran lub owrzodzeń w błonie śluzowej żołądka (wrzód żołądka) lub górnej części jelita cienkiego (wrzód dwunastnicy). Kompleksowa i specjalistyczna opieka pielęgniarska odgrywa kluczową rolę w procesie leczenia, łagodzenia objawów i zapobiegania powikłaniom tej choroby.123

Ocena pielęgniarska pacjenta z chorobą wrzodową

Kompleksowa ocena pielęgniarska jest podstawą skutecznej opieki nad pacjentem z chorobą wrzodową. Powinna ona obejmować:12

  • Szczegółowy wywiad dotyczący bólu (lokalizacja, charakter, czynniki nasilające i łagodzące, początek, czas trwania, częstotliwość, jakość, intensywność i ciężkość)
  • Analizę nawyków żywieniowych pacjenta
  • Ocenę przyjmowanych leków, zwłaszcza NLPZ i aspiryny
  • Badanie fizykalne z uwzględnieniem oceny brzucha
  • Ocenę parametrów życiowych
  • Weryfikację objawów krwawienia (hematemeza/” title=”hematemeza” class=”to-tag” data-termid=”30144″>krwiste wymioty, smoliste stolce)
  • Ocenę stanu odżywienia i masy ciała
  • Ocenę poziomu wiedzy pacjenta na temat choroby
  • Ocenę poziomu lęku i stresu

34

Diagnozy pielęgniarskie u pacjentów z chorobą wrzodową

Na podstawie zebranych danych i oceny stanu pacjenta, pielęgniarka formułuje diagnozy pielęgniarskie, które stanowią podstawę do opracowania indywidualnego planu opieki. Najczęstsze diagnozy pielęgniarskie u pacjentów z chorobą wrzodową to:12

  • Ból ostry związany z chemicznym uszkodzeniem błony śluzowej żołądka przez kwas żołądkowy
  • Ryzyko krwawienia/krwotoku związane z uszkodzeniem naczyń krwionośnych w obszarze owrzodzenia
  • Zaburzenia odżywiania: mniejsze niż zapotrzebowanie organizmu związane z bólem, nudnościami, wymiotami i zmianami w diecie
  • Niepokój związany z diagnozą, bólem i zmianą stylu życia
  • Deficyt wiedzy dotyczący choroby, leczenia i samoopieki
  • Ryzyko odwodnienia związane z wymiotami i ograniczonym spożyciem płynów
  • Zaburzenia wzorca snu związane z bólem i dyskomfortem

34

Cele i oczekiwane wyniki opieki pielęgniarskiej

Po zidentyfikowaniu diagnoz pielęgniarskich, kolejnym krokiem jest ustalenie realistycznych i mierzalnych celów opieki. Cele i oczekiwane wyniki u pacjenta z chorobą wrzodową mogą obejmować:12

  • Pacjent zgłasza satysfakcjonujące zmniejszenie bólu do poziomu poniżej 2-4 w skali 0-10
  • Pacjent korzysta z farmakologicznych i niefarmakologicznych metod uśmierzania bólu
  • Pacjent wykazuje zwiększony komfort (parametry życiowe w normie, rozluźnione napięcie mięśniowe)
  • Pacjent utrzymuje prawidłowe nawodnienie (ciśnienie skurczowe ≥90 mm Hg, brak ortostatycznych spadków ciśnienia, HR 60-100/min, diureza >30 ml/h, prawidłowe napięcie skóry)
  • Pacjent utrzymuje odpowiedni stan odżywienia i masę ciała
  • Pacjent wykazuje się wiedzą na temat choroby i metod jej leczenia
  • Brak powikłań takich jak krwawienie, perforacja lub niedrożność

34

Interwencje pielęgniarskie w opiece nad pacjentem z chorobą wrzodową

Zarządzanie bólem

Ból jest jednym z głównych objawów choroby wrzodowej, dlatego jego uśmierzanie stanowi priorytet w opiece pielęgniarskiej:12

  • Regularna ocena charakterystyki bólu (lokalizacja, natężenie, czynniki nasilające i łagodzące)
  • Podawanie zleconych leków przeciwbólowych i leków zmniejszających wydzielanie kwasu żołądkowego zgodnie z harmonogramem
  • Instruowanie pacjenta, aby unikał NLPZ, takich jak aspiryna, które mogą nasilać objawy
  • Zachęcanie do stosowania niefarmakologicznych metod uśmierzania bólu (akupresura, biofeedback, relaksacja, techniki oddechowe, masaż)
  • Zapewnienie pacjentowi komfortowej pozycji, która zmniejsza ból
  • Planowanie pielęgnacji tak, aby pacjent miał zapewniony odpoczynek
  • Zalecanie spożywania posiłków o regularnych porach w spokojnym otoczeniu

34

Podawanie i monitorowanie farmakoterapii

Podawanie leków stanowi kluczowy element leczenia choroby wrzodowej. Pielęgniarka odgrywa istotną rolę w administrowaniu leków i monitorowaniu ich skuteczności:12

  • Inhibitory pompy protonowej (IPP) – blokują produkcję i wydzielanie kwasu żołądkowego, zmniejszając ból i promując gojenie owrzodzeń. Należą do nich: omeprazol (Prilosec), esomeprazol (Nexium), lanzoprazol (Prevacid), pantoprazol (Protonix)
  • Antagoniści receptora H2 – blokują wydzielanie kwasu żołądkowego. Do tej grupy zaliczamy: famotydynę, ranitydynę
  • Antybiotyki – stosowane w leczeniu zakażenia Helicobacter pylori, które jest najczęstszą przyczyną wrzodów. Standardowe leczenie obejmuje kombinację dwóch antybiotyków oraz IPP przez 7-14 dni
  • Sukralfat – tworzy barierę na dnie owrzodzenia, chroniąc gojący się wrzód przed działaniem kwasu żołądkowego
  • Preparaty bizmutu – działają ochronnie na błonę śluzową i mają właściwości przeciwbakteryjne
  • Leki zobojętniające – neutralizują kwas żołądkowy i zapobiegają tworzeniu się pepsyny

34

Pielęgniarka powinna:1

  • Podawać leki zgodnie z zaleceniami lekarskimi
  • Monitorować skuteczność leczenia i obserwować pacjenta pod kątem wystąpienia działań niepożądanych
  • Edukować pacjenta na temat znaczenia regularnego przyjmowania leków, nawet po ustąpieniu objawów
  • Wyjaśniać sposób działania poszczególnych leków i potencjalne interakcje
  • Podkreślać znaczenie ukończenia pełnej kuracji antybiotykowej w przypadku leczenia H. pylori

23

Wsparcie żywieniowe i modyfikacja diety

Prawidłowe odżywianie jest istotnym elementem leczenia choroby wrzodowej. Pielęgniarka powinna:12

  • Oceniać stan odżywienia pacjenta i monitorować zmiany masy ciała
  • Monitorować poziom albumin w surowicy jako wskaźnik stanu odżywienia
  • Pomóc pacjentowi w identyfikacji pokarmów, które wywołują podrażnienie żołądka
  • Zalecać unikanie pokarmów i napojów, które mogą nasilać objawy, takich jak:
    • Napoje zawierające kofeinę (kawa, herbata, napoje typu cola)
    • Kawa bezkofeinowa (również może zwiększać produkcję kwasu)
    • Alkohol
    • Pokarmy kwaśne, pikantne lub tłuste
    • Czekolada
  • Zachęcać do spożywania regularnych, mniejszych posiłków zamiast kilku dużych
  • Promować zbilansowaną dietę bogatą w błonnik, owoce i warzywa
  • Zalecać spożywanie posiłków w spokojnej atmosferze
  • W przypadku dużego ubytku masy ciała, współpracować z dietetykiem w celu opracowania indywidualnego planu żywieniowego

34

  • Kontrolować wyniki badań laboratoryjnych (hemoglobina, hematokryt)
  • Monitorować bilans płynów (podaż i diurezę)
  • Obserwować pacjenta pod kątem objawów perforacji (nagły, silny ból brzucha, wzdęcie, objawy zapalenia otrzewnej)
  • W przypadku wystąpienia powikłań:
    • Podawać leki dożylne, preparaty rozszerzające objętość osocza i produkty krwiopochodne zgodnie ze zleceniem
    • Przygotować pacjenta do procedur diagnostycznych i terapeutycznych (endoskopia, operacja)
    • Zapewnić intensywny monitoring parametrów życiowych

34

Redukcja lęku i wsparcie psychologiczne

Lęk i stres mogą nasilać objawy choroby wrzodowej. Pielęgniarka powinna zapewnić pacjentowi wsparcie psychologiczne:12

  • Oceniać poziom lęku pacjenta
  • Potwierdzać świadomość lęku pacjenta i jego przyczyn

  • Utrzymanie zdrowej masy ciała
  • Przestrzeganie zaleceń dietetycznych
  • Regularne wizyty kontrolne u lekarza

34

Przygotowanie pacjenta do badań diagnostycznych i zabiegów

Pielęgniarka odgrywa ważną rolę w przygotowaniu pacjenta do badań diagnostycznych i potencjalnych zabiegów związanych z chorobą wrzodową:12

Endoskopia górnego odcinka przewodu pokarmowego

  • Uzyskanie świadomej zgody pacjenta
  • Poinformowanie o konieczności pozostania na czczo przez 8 godzin przed badaniem
  • Wyjaśnienie przebiegu badania i jego celu
  • Po badaniu ocena odruchu połykania przed podaniem pokarmów i płynów
  • Monitorowanie pod kątem powikłań (ból, krwawienie, wzdęcie brzucha)

3

Badanie z kontrastem (pasaż z barem)

  • Poinformowanie o zakazie przyjmowania pokarmów i płynów po północy przed badaniem
  • Wyjaśnienie, że mogą być podane środki przeczyszczające w celu oczyszczenia przewodu pokarmowego
  • Po badaniu podanie środków przeczyszczających, jeśli są wskazane, aby zapobiec zaparciom
  • Monitorowanie stolca do czasu całkowitego wydalenia baru

3

Leczenie chirurgiczne

W przypadku wrzodów, które nie reagują na leczenie po 12-16 tygodniach, zagrażającego życiu krwotoku lub perforacji, może być konieczne leczenie chirurgiczne. Pielęgniarka powinna:12

  • Opieka przedoperacyjna:
    • Uzyskanie świadomej zgody
    • Oczyszczenie i opróżnienie przewodu pokarmowego poprzez podanie lewatyw i utrzymanie pacjenta na czczo
    • Przygotowanie psychiczne pacjenta do zabiegu

    • Zapewnienie, że zgłębnik nosowo-żołądkowy (założony chirurgicznie) nie jest manipulowany
    • Obserwacja aspiratu z zgłębnika nosowo-żołądkowego
    • Ocena opatrunku chirurgicznego
    • Zapewnienie rutynowej opieki pooperacyjnej
    • Monitorowanie pod kątem powikłań
    • Edukacja pacjenta przed wypisem

34

Specyfika opieki nad szczególnymi grupami pacjentów

Osoby starsze

Osoby starsze są w grupie zwiększonego ryzyka choroby wrzodowej ze względu na częstsze stosowanie leków wysokiego ryzyka, w tym leków przeciwpłytkowych, warfaryny, selektywnych inhibitorów wychwytu zwrotnego serotoniny i bisfosfonianów:1

  • Dokładna ocena wszystkich przyjmowanych leków pod kątem potencjalnych interakcji
  • Zwiększona czujność w monitorowaniu powikłań, szczególnie krwawienia
  • Dostosowanie edukacji do potrzeb i możliwości poznawczych pacjenta

    Perforation — Perforation is when an ulcer causes a hole through the wall of the stomach or duodenum. A perforated stomach or duodenal ulcer is a medical emergency and needs treatment immediately. Treatment usually involves a surgical procedure to close the perforation, insertion of a nasogastric tube, IV fluids, and medications to help the ulcer heal. […] Obstruction — Gastric outlet obstruction is a less common complication of peptic ulcers. It refers to an obstruction or blockage of the outlet of the stomach. Gastric outlet obstruction is treated by inserting a nasogastric tube to remove food and fluid that has been unable to pass from the stomach into the small intestine and giving medications to reduce production of stomach acid and secretions. […] FOLLOW-UP […] Whether or not you need follow-up monitoring for your ulcer depends on the size, location, and cause of the ulcer; how the ulcer has responded to treatment; and whether there were any complications. If your ulcer was due to H. pylori, your health care provider will order a test to confirm that the infection is gone. A stool or breath test is performed four to eight weeks after the initial course of treatment is completed. If the H. pylori has not been eradicated, then another course of treatment will be prescribed.
