Intussusception
What is it?	Intussusception occurs when a portion of the intestine folds like a telescope, with one segment slipping inside another segment. It can occur anywhere in the intestines. This causes an obstruction, preventing the passage of food that is being digested through the intestine.
Etiology	The cause of intussusception is not known. Though rare, an increased incidence of developing intussusception may be seen in children: · Who have abdominal or intestinal tumors or masses · Who have appendicitis
Occurrence/Epidemiology	Children less than 3 years old, can also occur in older children, teenagers, and adults. · Intussusception occurs more often in boys than girls.
Clinical Presentation (subjective and physical examination)	Subjective: Pain, Sudden loud crying, Straining, Draw knees up, Irritable.	Objective: red mucus or jelly like stool, fever, lethargic, vomiting bile, diarrhea, sweating, dehydration, abdominal distention or lump.
Diagnostic Testing	X-Ray: may demonstrate an elongated soft tissue mass with a bowel obstruction proximal to it.	Ultrasound: ‘Target Sign’ also known as the doughnut sign or bull's eye sign. appearance is generated by concentric alternating echogenic and hypoechogenic bands.	Upper & Lower GI Series (Barium Swallow & Enema): giving the "coiled spring” appearance
3 Differential Diagnosis (include difference between each differential diagnosis & the main diagnosis)	Intussusception: Pain, sudden crying, red mucus or jelly like stool, fever, lethargic, vomiting bile, diarrhea, sweating, dehydration, abdominal distention or lump.	Gastroenteritis: vomiting that are typically nonbilious, often with anorexia, fever, lethargy, and diarrhea. No jelly like stool	Gastric Volvulus: Epigastric pain tenderness and distention, vomiting, bloody diarrhea No jelly like stool	Appendicitis: abdominal pain that has migrated from a periumbilical position to the right lower quadrant. No jelly like stool or masses.
Non-Pharmacologic Management	There are currently no nonpharmacological treatments.
Pharmacologic Management	May fix itself while being diagnosed with barium enema. Air enema (aids in moving intestines back). Antibiotics if infection present Surgery: push the telescoped intestine back out. Rare cases a resection of intestines may happen, and stoma created.
Follow Up	With toleration of diet, patients treated with nonoperative reduction are usually discharged 12-18 hours after the therapeutic enema. After operative reduction, postoperative progress dictates the length of stay.

You must choose one of the conditions below:

· Diabetes Mellitus

· Congestive Heart Failure

· Chronic Kidney Disease

· COPD

Your study guide must include:

· Definition, etiology

· Occurrence/epidemiology

· Clinical presentation

· Diagnostic testing

· Differential diagnosis

· Non-pharmacological and pharmacological management and follow up

Submission Instructions:

· The study guide is to be clear and concise and will provide a quick reference for a specific chronic disease.

· Include your resources and guidelines used for the elaboration of the study guide.

· Please use the attached template below to complete your assignment.

· Guide for a Selected Chronic Condition Template Download Guide for a Selected Chronic Condition Template

· Students will lose points for improper grammar, punctuation, misspelling, and references should be current (published within the last five years).
