OESOPHAGUS GL D 5 ampoules
Pack size:10 x 1 ml Dosage form:Ampoules
"OESOPHAGUS GL D 5" likely refers to a medical procedure or condition related to the esophagus (the food pipe) and the use of a specific type of fluid, possibly Dextrose 5% in water, or a related drug or medication. The combination suggests a procedure involving dilation or treatment of a narrowed esophagus, potentially with a fluid like Dextrose 5% in Water (D5W) for nutritional support.
Here's a breakdown of the likely uses:
1. Oesophageal Dilatation:
Purpose:
Oesophageal Dilatation | Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (or dilatation) is a procedure to stretch a narrowing (stricture) in the esophagus.
Why it's needed:
This narrowing can cause swallowing difficulties.
How it's done:
The procedure involves using a dilator (a device) to gently stretch the narrowed area.
Possible use of D5W:
D5W (Dextrose 5% in Water) might be used for nutritional support during the procedure or in the aftermath, especially if the patient has been unable to eat due to the narrowing.
2. Other Potential Uses:
Oesophageal Varices:
Dilation may be used in conjunction with other procedures like band ligation or injection sclerotherapy to treat swollen veins in the esophagus (oesophageal varices), which can be a problem related to liver disease.
Other Medical Conditions:
The specific combination of "OESOPHAGUS GL D 5" might also indicate a broader range of treatments or conditions, such as Barrett's esophagus, a condition that can increase the risk of esophageal cancer.
