| | Gastric Distention |
 | | Simply stated, Gastric Distention, is "air in the stomach." A question that is asked of every class, when discussing this subject is, "Has anyone ever experienced gastric distention?" Because the reality is that everyone, at one point or another, has had the experience to some degree. | | | In addition to the fact that all that air will interfere with the effectiveness of chest compressions, there should be no doubt that our patient, with all this gastric distention, will definitely expel stomach content. | | | This "condition," called gastric distention is "created" by emergency care providers through the use of an improper ventilation technique, during rescue breathing or CPR. |

| | Dog Owner's Guide: Bloat |
| | Call it what you will, this is a serious, life-threatening condition of large breed dogs. | | | Some veterinarians recommend, and some owners request, prophylactic surgery to anchor the stomach in place before the torsion occurs in dogs who have experienced one or more bouts of distention or in dogs whose close relatives have had GDV. | | | In some cases, decompression is accomplished by placing large-bore needles or a trochar through the skin and muscle and directly into the stomach. |

| | This increase in duodenal motility and pyloric tone is effected by stimulation of duodenal osmoreceptors and by the release of secretin, cholecysto- kinin (CCK) and gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP). | | | When the volume of the stomach increases with relaxation, the intragastric pressure does not increase, because of receptive relaxation mediated by way of a vagal reflex and the splanchnic nerves. | | | Pyloric sphincter relaxation occurs so that the antral lumen is not occluded by peristaltic waves. |

| | Gastric Torsion, Bloat, Gastric Dilitation and Volvulus in a Dog |
| | A dog which experiences significant pain will be very depressed. | | | Fortunately, this is not something that is a routine occurrence but it does happen often enough that owners of "deep chested" large breeds should be aware of the potential. | | | Approximately 60 % of the dogs will survive if treatment is started reasonably soon after onset of signs. |

| | Gastric Pouch |
| | There is an enormous variation between calories and volume, and a patient needs to learn how to "think volume" when making food choices to gain and maintain satiety in a mature small gastric pouch. | | | When patients "fail" there is a tendency, even among bariatric surgeons, to pass it off as "noncompliance." Certainly, this can be an appropriate evaluation in a few persons who are not willing to accept responsibility for the lifestyle changes necessary to make the small gastric pouch function properly. | | | Postoperative patient instruction begins with setting appropriate expectations preoperatively through the information provided in your thorough patient information booklet. |

| | Gastric reflux may occur, intestinal sounds are often absent, and distended small intestinal loops are usually palpable on rectal examination. | | | Abdominal pain (colic) is caused by distention of the bowel wall, stretching of the mesentery, inflammation of the intestinal wall or peritoneum, or ischemia and spasm of the intestinal musculature. | | | When the condition occurs in its acute form, the animal is severely painful, has reduced borborygmi, dilated small intestine on rectal examination, gastric reflux, and requires surgical intervention. |

| | Spike potentials are stimulated by distention of the stomach through long and short cholinergic reflexes and increased gastrin. | | | While you are swallowing the inhibitory reflexes are dominant so the proximal stomach is relaxed to allow food to enter from the esophagus. | | | Similarly, anything that reduces LES tone, or pressure, so that it is less than intragastric pressure may also lead to heartburn. |

| | Gastric distention resulted in a significant threefold to fourfold increase in the rate of transient LES relaxations in both groups. | | | The occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux after meals may be related to an increase in the rate of transient lower esophageal sphincter (LES) relaxations, the mechanisms of which are not understood. | | | The reflux patients had a significantly greater proportion of complete relaxations (87%) than did the normal subjects (73%). |

| | Gastric distention |
| | Gastric distention is bloating of the stomach when air is pumped into it. | | | Gastric distention is potentially dangerous since it can cause the contents of the stomach to come up the esophagus (gullet) and spill back down into the lungs. | | | This may be done when someone is performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation and blowing air into the mouth of someone who is not breathing spontaneously. |
