- Objective
1.Recognize the typical clinical
presentation for GERD
2.Understand pathophysiology
ofGERD
3.Describe an appropriate
diagnostic plan
4.Prescribe an appropriate
therapeutic regime
GERD- Dr Trần Ngọc Ánh
- GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
One of the most prevalent GI disordes: 15% heartburn ,
regurgitation 1time/week. 7% symptoms daily
GERD: the acidified liquid content of the stomach up
intothe esophagus
GERD may damage the lining of the esophagus-
inflammation, although usually it does not
The symptom of uncomplicated GERD: hearburn,
regurgitation and nausea
GERD may be diagnosed or evaluated by a trial of
treatment, endoscopy, examination the throat, larynx,
24h esophageal acid testing, esophageal motility testing,
emptying studies, esophageal acid perfusion
GERD- Dr Trần Ngọc Ánh
- CLINICAL FEATURES
1.Hearburn
-A burning pain (sharp or pressure like) in the middle of
the chest. It may start high in the abdomen or may
extend up into the neck, extend to the back
-More common after meals, lie down
-Episodes: infrequently, or frequently
2.Regurgitation
-Appearance of refluxed liquid in the mouth
3.Nausea
-Uncommon
-It may be frequent or severe and may result in vomiting
GERD- Dr Trần Ngọc Ánh
- PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
LES abnormalities
GERD
Slow prolonged
emptying of the Hiatal hernias
stomach
Abnormal esophageal
contractions
GERD- Dr Trần Ngọc Ánh
- LABORATORY FINDING
1.Endoscopy
Most patient: normal
Esophagitis, erosions, ulcers
Identifi complications of GERD
Biopsies
Diagnosing cancers, causes of esophageal
inflammation, Barrett’s
2.X rays
To show only the infrequent complications of GERD:
Ulcers and strictures

3.Esophageal acid testing (24H esophageal pH test)
A gold standard for diagnosing GERD
A small tube is passed through the nose and positioned
in the esophageus (on the tip is a sensor that senses
acid, the other en is attached to a recorder). Each time
acide refluxes back in to the esophagus from stomach,
it stiumulates the sensor and records the episode of
reflux
A newer method for prolonged measurement (48h) of
acid exposure in the esophagus utilizes a small capsule

4.Esophageal motility testing
How well the muscles of the esophagus are working
A thin tube is passed through a nostril, into the
esophageus-sensors that sense pressure; the other end is
attached to a recorder that record pressure
5.Gastric emptying studies
How well food empties from the stomach
The patient eats meal that is labeles with a radioactive
substance. A sensor is placed over the stomach to
measure how quickly the radioactive substance in the
meal empties from the stomach

6.Acid perfusion test(Berstein test)
Determine if chest pain is caused by
acid reflux
A thin tube is passed through on
nostril, into the middle of the
esophagus. A dilute, acid solution
and a physiologic salt solution are
alternately poured through the
catheter into the esophagus
If the perfusion provokes usual pain
and perfusion of the salt produces
no pain The patient’s pain is caused
by acid reflux
GERD- Dr Trần Ngọc Ánh
- DIAGNOSIS
Diagnosis: History alone in many cases. A therapeutic
trial with a PPI such as Omeprazole 40m bid for 1 week,
provides support for the diagnosis of GERD
The diagnostic approach to GERD
Documentation of mucosal injury
Documentation and quantitation of reflux
Definition of the pathophysiology
GERD- Dr Trần Ngọc Ánh
- COMPLICATIONS
Ulcers Barrett’s
Stricture esophagus
Others
GERD- Dr Trần Ngọc Ánh
- TREATMENT
Life style changes+ Diet
Internal medecine Surgery
Inhibitory
Others Endoscopy
drug
GERD- Dr Trần Ngọc Ánh
- TREATMENT
1.Life style changes
A combination of several
changes in habit, particularly
related eating
Elevation of the upper body at
night generally is recommend for
all patients
Reflux also occurs less
frequently when patients lie on
their left rather than their right
sides
GERD- Dr Trần Ngọc Ánh
- TREATMENT
2.GERD Diet
Smaller, earlier evening
meals may reduce the
amount of reflux
These foods should be
avoided(↓pressure in the
LES)
Chocolate
Perppemint
Alcohol
Certainated drinks
GERD- Dr Trần Ngọc Ánh
- TREATMENT
Stop Fatty foods and smoking
(↓pressure in the
LES)
Avoid other food aggravate
symptoms: spicy, acid
containing food-citrus juices,
carbonated beverages, tomato
juice
One novel approach to the
treatment: chewing gum
GERD- Dr Trần Ngọc Ánh
- TREATMENT: Acid neutralizing/inhibitory drugs
Antacids H2antagonists PPI
