00:00 So let's wrap up this video series. 00:03 Acalculous cholecystitis is an inflammatory disease of the gallbladder without evidence of gallstones. 00:10 The gallstones might be microscopic or the might be other possible causes of the acalculous cholecystitis. 00:16 Critically ill patients are at an increased risk for acalculous cholecystitis. 00:22 So whether they're in med-surg, telemetry or ICU if they're immobile and not eating normally be on the lookout. 00:31 As with choledicholithiasis, the healthcare provider will determine the most appropriate treatment plan, whether it's conservative versus gallbladder removal after review of the assessment diagnostic tests and lab work. 00:45 Thanks for watching our video series today.
The lecture Acalculous Cholecystitis: In a Nutshell (Nursing) by Prof. Lawes is from the course Gallstones and Cholecystitis: Diagnosis (Nursing).
