Take care. Three terms, people consistently
mix up cholelithiasis, Cholecystitis and
cholecystectomy. Well, they all have to do with
the gallbladder, but we have to break it down and it's a
progression. And if you notice the way that I
teach, everything I teach is going to be in progression.
So what is Coli Lithiasis? Well, break down each portion of
that word. Remember, I always tell people
this medical terminology was never our first language.
So whether English is the first language or not, learning
medical terminology should be as of of as much importance as it
is to learn the content and the test taking strategies because
breaking down words is going to help you on test date.
So Coli, Lithiasis, well we start with that in the
gallbladder, we form stones, Cole lith stone ISIS formation.
So Cole lithiasis, well as those stones form, the gallbladder is
going to contract. And as it contracts and it hits
those stones, guess what happens, It's going to get
inflamed, it's going to get irritated.
So now we have Cole Cyst, the SAC.
So the gallbladder SAC is now inflamed.
Well as that inflammatory process continues and as it
contracts and we know the six risk factors for developing
those stones, fat, female, 40, fertile, fair skin and family
history. But as we contract onto those
stones, it's going to irritate that SAC.
So the gallbladder SAC is now inflamed Cholecystitis and once
we have such severe pain that we can't get rid of and it
continuously is happening, we're going to go in and remove that
gallbladder SAC or cholecystectomy.
So know the progression between the three, know exactly what
we're going to do. Furthermore, I would advocate
that you learn how to educate your patients post OP a lot of
different things that you want to educate them on as far as
splinting, when they cough, how long before they can move their
bandages. What we're looking for like ASH,
right, if we're putting them in a procedure or post op, we want
to always look at ASH and airway, altered mental status,
sepsis and hemorrhaging. So I hope this helped clarify
those three terms. So I hope you enjoyed.
