Summary

TLDRBu video, gastroözofageal reflü hastalığı (GERD) hakkında kapsamlı bir bilgi sunmaktadır. GERD, mide asidinin özofagusa geri akması sonucu oluşan bir durumdur ve genellikle kalp yanması ve dispepsi gibi belirtilerle kendini gösterir. Mide asidinin özofagusa geri akması, özofagusun iltihaplanmasına ve yaralar oluşmasına neden olabilir. Uzun süreli iltihaplanma, özofagus daralmasına (striktür) ve aspirasyon gibi komplikasyonlara yol açabilir. Video, hastalığın nedenleri, patofizyolojisi, tanı yöntemleri ve tedavi seçenekleri hakkında detaylı bilgiler vermektedir. Tedavi genellikle proton pompa inhibitörleri (PPI) ile başlar ve yaşam tarzı değişiklikleri de önerilmektedir. Ayrıca, GERD'nin kanser riski taşıdığı ve bu nedenle düzenli kontrollerin önemli olduğu vurgulanmaktadır.

Timeline

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    Bu videoda, gastroözofageal reflü hastalığı (GERD) hakkında bilgi verilmektedir. GERD, mide asidinin özofagusa geri akması sonucu oluşan bir durumdur. Bu durum, genellikle mide ekşimesi ve dispepsi gibi belirtilerle kendini gösterir. Mide asidinin özofagusa çıkması, yanma hissi ve iltihaplanma gibi sorunlara yol açar.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    GERD'nin komplikasyonları arasında özofajit, darlık, aspirasyon ve gastrointestinal kanama yer alır. Sürekli iltihaplanma, özofagusun daralmasına neden olabilir ve bu da yutma güçlüğü gibi sorunlara yol açar. Ayrıca, mide asidinin havayoluna kaçması, larenjit ve astım gibi solunum sorunlarına neden olabilir.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    Hastalığın patofizyolojisi, normal özofagus hücrelerinin uzun süre asit maruziyeti sonucu metaplazi ve displazi gibi değişikliklere uğramasıdır. Bu süreç, Barrett özofagusu ve ardından adenokarsinom gelişimine yol açabilir. GERD'nin nedenleri arasında alt özofagus sfinkterinin düşük tonu, hiatal herni, artmış mide asidi üretimi ve yüksek intragastrik basınç yer alır.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:21:38

    Tanı genellikle klinik bir değerlendirme ile konur. Mide ekşimesi ve göğüs ağrısı gibi belirtilerle başvuran hastalarda, EKG ve troponin testleri ile kalp hastalığı dışlanmalıdır. Eğer belirtiler iyileşmezse, endoskopi ve biyopsi gibi ileri tetkikler yapılmalıdır. Tedavi, mide asidi üretimini baskılamak için proton pompa inhibitörleri (PPI) kullanmayı içerir.

    what's up Ninja nerds in this video
  • 00:00:09
    today we're going to be talking about
  • 00:00:11
    gastrosoph agile reflux disease also
  • 00:00:13
    known as gird what I want you guys to do
  • 00:00:15
    before we get started on this video I
  • 00:00:16
    want you guys to take a second go down
  • 00:00:17
    the description box below we got links
  • 00:00:19
    to our website where it'll be a lot of
  • 00:00:21
    awesome notes and illustrations that I
  • 00:00:22
    think will be super critical for you
  • 00:00:24
    guys to follow along with me during this
  • 00:00:26
    lecture also if you guys benefit from
  • 00:00:28
    this lecture please support us by
  • 00:00:29
    hitting that like button commenting down
  • 00:00:31
    in the comment section and please
  • 00:00:32
    subscribe all right let's start talking
  • 00:00:34
    about gastral reflux disease so gird is
  • 00:00:37
    this basic concept it's super super
  • 00:00:39
    basic in which things like nasty stuff
  • 00:00:42
    like hydrochloric acid contents from the
  • 00:00:44
    stomach unfortunately will just decide
  • 00:00:47
    to move its way upwards into the
  • 00:00:50
    esophagus now when that happens what's
  • 00:00:52
    the downside of that what's the actual
  • 00:00:54
    problematic issue with this actual
  • 00:00:56
    hydrochloric acid getting into the
  • 00:00:58
    esophagus well if we zoom in here what
  • 00:01:01
    you'll notice is that this acid
  • 00:01:03
    substance within the actual esophagus
  • 00:01:04
    can cause a lot of problems one of these
  • 00:01:06
    things is it can lead to just common
  • 00:01:09
    sensation such as heartburn and this may
  • 00:01:13
    manifest if you will with this Burning
  • 00:01:15
    retro sternal chest pain that usually
  • 00:01:17
    occurs after meals and it's really bad
  • 00:01:19
    when you lay
  • 00:01:20
    supine sometimes because the esophagus
  • 00:01:24
    is not just here within the chest but it
  • 00:01:25
    can actually come down here just to the
  • 00:01:27
    epigastric level you may even have epep
  • 00:01:29
    gastric pain we call this dyspepsia it's
  • 00:01:32
    that burning pain that you may have
  • 00:01:34
    right here in the epigastrium so two
  • 00:01:36
    very common manifestations is going to
  • 00:01:39
    be heartburn and
  • 00:01:42
    dyspepsia this is super critical and the
  • 00:01:44
    reason why is because this hydrochloric
  • 00:01:46
    acid is going to be coming up into the
  • 00:01:48
    esophagus causing a lot of burning and
  • 00:01:49
    inflammation now the question I have for
  • 00:01:51
    you guys is what are some of the
  • 00:01:53
    complications that are associated with
  • 00:01:55
    gastr Solage or reflux disease so the
  • 00:01:57
    basic concept is hydrochloric acid is
  • 00:01:59
    coming up into the esophagus it's
  • 00:02:01
    ripping it up causing heartburn
  • 00:02:03
    dyspepsia but it can also do a lot of
  • 00:02:05
    other things like what it can really
  • 00:02:07
    inflame the esophagus and start
  • 00:02:09
    ulcerating it and this can lead to
  • 00:02:14
    esophagitis additionally with the
  • 00:02:16
    esophagitis sometimes patients can come
  • 00:02:18
    in presenting with like things like
  • 00:02:20
    oasia like a lot of pain with swallowing
  • 00:02:22
    that's one common thing the other
  • 00:02:24
    problem here is that as you kind of
  • 00:02:26
    cause this constant inflammation over
  • 00:02:28
    time if this esophagus is being inflamed
  • 00:02:31
    and inflamed and inflamed it'll then
  • 00:02:32
    undergo a fibrotic reaction to heal but
  • 00:02:35
    it'll narrow the actual Lumin of the
  • 00:02:37
    esophagus and this can lead to stricture
  • 00:02:41
    formation another potential complication
  • 00:02:44
    associated with this gastro Solage or
  • 00:02:47
    reflux disease is that sometimes this is
  • 00:02:49
    very very interesting with this
  • 00:02:51
    hydrochloric acid not only can It
  • 00:02:53
    inflame the Esopus lead to strictures
  • 00:02:55
    but sometimes the actual contents can
  • 00:02:57
    move its way into the airway
  • 00:03:00
    and this could lead to features of a lot
  • 00:03:02
    of what's called kind of a reflux or an
  • 00:03:05
    aspiration type of event so you want to
  • 00:03:07
    watch out for
  • 00:03:10
    aspiration now the problems with this
  • 00:03:13
    very quickly is if you aspirate some of
  • 00:03:15
    this Hydrochloric contents into the
  • 00:03:17
    larynx it can cause laryngitis what's a
  • 00:03:19
    common manifestation of that voice
  • 00:03:21
    changes if it goes into the bronchos it
  • 00:03:24
    can inflame the bronchos and lead to
  • 00:03:25
    inflammation of the bronchos what could
  • 00:03:27
    that worsen asthma so the other ways
  • 00:03:30
    that I want you to think about gird
  • 00:03:31
    presenting is not just with esophagitis
  • 00:03:33
    or strictures but aspiration that can
  • 00:03:35
    lead to heness larynx and worsening
  • 00:03:37
    Asthma bronchial inflammation boom
  • 00:03:40
    roasted what's another potential
  • 00:03:42
    complication you know if you erode and
  • 00:03:45
    ulcerate the esophagus there's blood
  • 00:03:46
    vessels that are lining that you can
  • 00:03:48
    erode into the actual blood vessel and
  • 00:03:50
    lead to bleeding so you want to watch
  • 00:03:52
    out for GI
  • 00:03:54
    bleeding ways that GI beds can present
  • 00:03:57
    is this can have a patient who presents
  • 00:03:58
    with like a lot of maybe anemia right so
  • 00:04:00
    maybe it's an actual uh a lab finding or
  • 00:04:02
    they can present with a lot of fatigue
  • 00:04:04
    that's another particular thing the last
  • 00:04:06
    and scariest complication of gastrosoph
  • 00:04:08
    reflux disease over chronic and chronic
  • 00:04:10
    and chronic inflammation is you increase
  • 00:04:13
    the risk of what's called esophageal
  • 00:04:18
    cancer with that being said one of the
  • 00:04:20
    very interesting Concepts here that we
  • 00:04:22
    have to dig into just quickly for the
  • 00:04:25
    pathophysiology is whenever you look at
  • 00:04:27
    normal cells of the esophagus it's
  • 00:04:29
    actually stratified squamous so it's
  • 00:04:31
    stratified squamous so here we'll
  • 00:04:32
    actually write on the side here this
  • 00:04:34
    should be squamous
  • 00:04:37
    cells but whenever you expose the actual
  • 00:04:40
    Squam cells over a long period of time
  • 00:04:42
    to a lot of hydrochloric
  • 00:04:45
    acid this will cause the cells to have
  • 00:04:47
    to adapt when the cells have to adapt
  • 00:04:50
    they undergo something called
  • 00:04:52
    metaplasia so whenever they adapt they
  • 00:04:55
    change into a different type of cell and
  • 00:04:57
    this is going to be called columnar
  • 00:04:59
    cells
  • 00:05:03
    this process where they go from squamous
  • 00:05:05
    to columnar you know what that's called
  • 00:05:06
    This is called metaplasia let's actually
  • 00:05:09
    write that here this process here is
  • 00:05:12
    called
  • 00:05:14
    metaplasia all right beautiful so going
  • 00:05:17
    from the Squam cells to the columnar
  • 00:05:18
    cells is called metaplasia but then if
  • 00:05:20
    you continue and continue to cause more
  • 00:05:22
    erosive damage more inflammation you can
  • 00:05:25
    turn these columnar cells into
  • 00:05:27
    neoplastic cells so you can turn these
  • 00:05:29
    into to neoplastic cells let's stick
  • 00:05:31
    with our color here which we did was
  • 00:05:32
    blue so again this is our neoplastic
  • 00:05:36
    cells so this here going from columnar
  • 00:05:39
    cells to neoplastic cells is called
  • 00:05:42
    dysplasia so one of the biggest things
  • 00:05:44
    to understand here is with this
  • 00:05:45
    metaplasia aspect that's really a very
  • 00:05:48
    specific type of intermediate so I want
  • 00:05:50
    you guys to understand kind of the
  • 00:05:51
    progression here is that the progression
  • 00:05:53
    of this disease is you have something
  • 00:05:55
    called
  • 00:05:57
    barrettes and then over time this baret
  • 00:06:00
    will then progress to what's called
  • 00:06:03
    adino
  • 00:06:06
    carcinoma so this is the metaplasia this
  • 00:06:09
    is the dysplasia so this is the concept
  • 00:06:12
    that I want you guys to understand okay
  • 00:06:13
    now let's go and let's talk about the
  • 00:06:15
    different causes of Girt all right my
  • 00:06:17
    friends so gastrosoph reflux disease
  • 00:06:19
    heartburn dyspepsia from the reflux of
  • 00:06:21
    the hydrochloric acid we know the
  • 00:06:22
    complications associated with it
  • 00:06:24
    esophagitis strictures aspiration we
  • 00:06:26
    also know that you can have gi bleeds
  • 00:06:28
    and we know that you can have a Soph
  • 00:06:29
    cancer the question that you have to ask
  • 00:06:31
    yourself is why is the hydrochloric acid
  • 00:06:33
    going up into the esophagus as much it
  • 00:06:36
    is as it is causing these
  • 00:06:38
    complications there's four particular
  • 00:06:39
    reasons one of the reasons is that this
  • 00:06:42
    part here this is a problematic area for
  • 00:06:44
    us this area here is called the lower
  • 00:06:47
    esophagal sphincter it's supposed to be
  • 00:06:49
    nice and tight and prevent things like
  • 00:06:51
    Hydrochloric hydrochloric acid from
  • 00:06:53
    going up into the esophagus what if the
  • 00:06:55
    tone is really low that's one particular
  • 00:06:57
    mechanism so a low lower esophageal
  • 00:07:00
    sphincter
  • 00:07:02
    tone another particular mechanism that
  • 00:07:04
    can cause this is that there is a defect
  • 00:07:09
    somewhere here so you know the esophagus
  • 00:07:10
    is supposed to go up through this little
  • 00:07:12
    area here called the esophageal Hiatus
  • 00:07:15
    but in certain patients they have a
  • 00:07:17
    defect within that Junction and it
  • 00:07:19
    slides upwards and if it slides upwards
  • 00:07:23
    above the actual esophageal Hiatus this
  • 00:07:25
    is a very significant problem for gird
  • 00:07:27
    you know what that's called where parts
  • 00:07:29
    of the esophagus slides up above the
  • 00:07:30
    esophagal hatus this is called a hiatal
  • 00:07:33
    hernia remember that hiatal
  • 00:07:38
    hernia Okay the third particular problem
  • 00:07:41
    here is that the hydrochloric acid that
  • 00:07:44
    you're producing by the stomach is much
  • 00:07:46
    more so if you have hydrochloric acid
  • 00:07:48
    going up into the Esopus it's going to
  • 00:07:49
    burn it but what if you had a lot more
  • 00:07:52
    hydrochloric acid you're likely going to
  • 00:07:53
    cause more symptoms the more
  • 00:07:55
    hydrochloric acid the more severe the
  • 00:07:57
    actual gird can be so another particular
  • 00:07:59
    problem here is that we have cells of
  • 00:08:01
    the stomach that is just banging out
  • 00:08:03
    hydrochloric acid that's another
  • 00:08:05
    particular mechanism is increased
  • 00:08:07
    hydrochloric acid
  • 00:08:09
    production all right let me take you
  • 00:08:11
    through a quick mechanism here of why
  • 00:08:13
    this is a problem and how we can
  • 00:08:15
    actually treat this so here we have a
  • 00:08:17
    couple parietal cells you know parietal
  • 00:08:18
    cells are cells that make hydrochloric
  • 00:08:19
    acid there's a couple ways that they do
  • 00:08:22
    this one way that they do this is they
  • 00:08:24
    use these kind of like proton potassium
  • 00:08:26
    ATP Aces to push out things like
  • 00:08:29
    potassium and pro I'm sorry push out
  • 00:08:31
    things like protons and these protons
  • 00:08:33
    are what make the hydrochloric acid
  • 00:08:35
    contents super super acidic so there's
  • 00:08:38
    one thing that's the proton pumps but
  • 00:08:40
    you also have little receptors here on
  • 00:08:41
    these cells that tell them to actually
  • 00:08:43
    stimulate and increase the production of
  • 00:08:45
    hydrochloric acid you know what these
  • 00:08:46
    are these are histamine 2 receptors so
  • 00:08:49
    what are these particular receptors here
  • 00:08:51
    these guys here are
  • 00:08:53
    called histamine 2
  • 00:08:58
    receptors
  • 00:09:00
    when these receptors are stimulated they
  • 00:09:02
    increase they increase the hydrochloric
  • 00:09:05
    acid production and this is super
  • 00:09:09
    important because you know when we talk
  • 00:09:10
    about pharmacology if we give drugs that
  • 00:09:12
    block this proton pump like proton pump
  • 00:09:15
    inhibitors you would decrease the
  • 00:09:17
    hydrochloric acid production if we give
  • 00:09:19
    drugs that block the histamine from
  • 00:09:21
    binding to the H2 receptors you would
  • 00:09:23
    block hydrochloric acid production
  • 00:09:25
    that'll come into play when we talk
  • 00:09:26
    about the actual pharmacology okay the
  • 00:09:29
    last particular mechanism here is that
  • 00:09:31
    you have a very high inter gastric
  • 00:09:33
    pressure imagine the pressure in your
  • 00:09:35
    stomach is higher than the pressure
  • 00:09:36
    within your esophagus where are things
  • 00:09:38
    going to want to go from high pressure
  • 00:09:39
    to low pressure things will decompress
  • 00:09:41
    into the esophagus so that's the last
  • 00:09:43
    particular problem here is you're going
  • 00:09:44
    to have a patient who has very high
  • 00:09:47
    intragastric
  • 00:09:52
    pressure all right so out of all of this
  • 00:09:54
    these are the four reasons why the
  • 00:09:56
    patient would develop a very nasty G
  • 00:09:59
    gastrosoph reflux disease what I want to
  • 00:10:01
    do is I want to quickly talk about what
  • 00:10:03
    are the things that decrease the lower
  • 00:10:04
    Sagel sphincter tone what are the actual
  • 00:10:07
    basic type of hiatal hernia that is
  • 00:10:09
    really really highly associated with
  • 00:10:10
    gird what increases hydrochloric acid
  • 00:10:13
    production and what increases inter
  • 00:10:15
    gastric pressure so let's come down here
  • 00:10:18
    and let's go through these and let's
  • 00:10:19
    write them all down because again I
  • 00:10:20
    think this will help you with the
  • 00:10:21
    repetition first one decrease the lower
  • 00:10:23
    esophagal sphincter
  • 00:10:24
    tone next one is you have AAL
  • 00:10:28
    Heria
  • 00:10:29
    third one is you have high in gastric
  • 00:10:34
    pressure and the fourth mechanism is you
  • 00:10:36
    have increased hydrochloric acid
  • 00:10:40
    production okay we have to now say what
  • 00:10:42
    is the reasons why you have a low
  • 00:10:45
    esophagal sphincter tone one of these is
  • 00:10:48
    because the patient is smoking drinking
  • 00:10:50
    alcohol or they're just consuming tons
  • 00:10:53
    and tons of caffeine these are very very
  • 00:10:56
    common triggers so I want you to
  • 00:10:58
    remember these particular
  • 00:11:03
    causes all right so again smoking
  • 00:11:05
    alcohol caffeine are triggers that lower
  • 00:11:07
    the esophagal fter tone all right H
  • 00:11:09
    hernias what is the most common type
  • 00:11:12
    associated with gird I want you to
  • 00:11:14
    remember sliding hernas sliding
  • 00:11:19
    hernas the next thing I want you to
  • 00:11:21
    remember is what are the things that can
  • 00:11:23
    increase the intragastric pressure
  • 00:11:25
    causing it to decompress the contents
  • 00:11:26
    into the esophagus pregnancy
  • 00:11:29
    obesity as well as very large meals and
  • 00:11:33
    one other disease called
  • 00:11:42
    gastroparesis so again pregnancy obesity
  • 00:11:46
    very large meals gastroparesis which is
  • 00:11:48
    a disease associated with diabetes it's
  • 00:11:51
    where the nerves of the actual stomach
  • 00:11:52
    aren't actually working properly so the
  • 00:11:54
    stomach can't contract if you can't
  • 00:11:55
    contract can you empty things into the
  • 00:11:57
    actual duodenum no so all the stomach
  • 00:11:59
    does is distend distend distend pressure
  • 00:12:01
    Rises can decompress into the actual
  • 00:12:04
    esophagus the last one here is you
  • 00:12:06
    increase hydrochloric acid production
  • 00:12:08
    the big things are things like ineds
  • 00:12:10
    alcohol smoking and a rare rare disease
  • 00:12:14
    called Zinger Ellison
  • 00:12:22
    syndrome okay again ineds alcohol
  • 00:12:24
    smoking zeling or Ellison syndrome which
  • 00:12:27
    is a rare disorder where you're actually
  • 00:12:28
    have a tumor like a pancreatic tumor
  • 00:12:30
    that pumps out gastrin you know what
  • 00:12:32
    gastrin does a hydrochloric acid
  • 00:12:34
    production cranks it up all right so
  • 00:12:36
    these are the mechanisms behind
  • 00:12:38
    gastrosoph reflux disease now let's dig
  • 00:12:42
    into the diagnostic approach all right
  • 00:12:44
    so gird heartburn we know the particular
  • 00:12:46
    three pathophysiological processes
  • 00:12:48
    intragastric pressure GE AB uh gastral
  • 00:12:52
    Junction abnormality or reduced lower
  • 00:12:54
    solal sphincter tone we know the three
  • 00:12:56
    complications that they can present with
  • 00:12:58
    how do we diagnose this well gir's
  • 00:13:01
    generally a clinical diagnosis but I
  • 00:13:03
    think it's important to remember that
  • 00:13:04
    often times they'll present with
  • 00:13:05
    heartburn and so heartburn kind of
  • 00:13:08
    present sometimes presents like chest
  • 00:13:09
    pain and here's the other thing
  • 00:13:11
    sometimes patients who present with
  • 00:13:12
    heartburn or maybe even a little bit of
  • 00:13:14
    like epigastric abdominal pain dyspepsia
  • 00:13:17
    we don't want to miss an inferior mind
  • 00:13:19
    and so you should always in any
  • 00:13:20
    complaint of chest pain obtain an ECG
  • 00:13:23
    and depending upon the ECG results get
  • 00:13:24
    your opponents if you see any evidence
  • 00:13:27
    of St elevation reciprocal change es and
  • 00:13:29
    positive tronin this is not gird this is
  • 00:13:32
    potentially an acute coronary syndrome
  • 00:13:33
    and you should completely change your
  • 00:13:35
    diagnostic approach here but if it comes
  • 00:13:37
    back normal and there is no evidence of
  • 00:13:39
    any true changes such as troponin
  • 00:13:42
    elevation no ST depression t-wave
  • 00:13:44
    inversions or elevations then I'm
  • 00:13:46
    starting to think it could be more gird
  • 00:13:48
    related so how do I do this it's more of
  • 00:13:50
    just you try a treatment and see if it
  • 00:13:52
    improves it what I do is I would
  • 00:13:54
    initiate an empiric PPI trial I'll give
  • 00:13:56
    them a proton pump inhibitor that'll
  • 00:13:58
    suppress the hydrochloric acid
  • 00:14:00
    production in the stomach and if that
  • 00:14:02
    happens I'll reduce the hydrochloric
  • 00:14:03
    acid moving into the esophagus and
  • 00:14:05
    causing the heartburn sensation and
  • 00:14:08
    complications do they get better if they
  • 00:14:10
    do it's probably gir if they don't then
  • 00:14:13
    you can't completely exclude that it's
  • 00:14:15
    not gir so then what else could we do if
  • 00:14:19
    maybe their symptoms are not
  • 00:14:21
    significantly better with the PPI then I
  • 00:14:23
    really want to start asking myself the
  • 00:14:25
    question is there any severe
  • 00:14:27
    complications am I missing something so
  • 00:14:30
    I look for alarm symptoms is there
  • 00:14:32
    dysphasia because that could identify a
  • 00:14:34
    strcture is there vomiting that could
  • 00:14:36
    identify a stricture is there anemia
  • 00:14:39
    this could be indicative of a GI bleed
  • 00:14:41
    or sometimes even cancer and is there
  • 00:14:43
    weight loss this could be indicative of
  • 00:14:44
    a stricture or cancer if I have any of
  • 00:14:48
    these alarm symptoms I have to get an
  • 00:14:50
    EGD with a
  • 00:14:51
    biopsy the reason why is gird can lead
  • 00:14:54
    to potential complications and I want to
  • 00:14:56
    see is this just esophagitis from from
  • 00:14:58
    the reflux or does this look really bad
  • 00:15:01
    and I got some really bad like reflux
  • 00:15:03
    like related structures
  • 00:15:04
    here and then worst case scenario is is
  • 00:15:07
    there cancer and so sometimes this may
  • 00:15:10
    lead you to kind of find potential
  • 00:15:12
    complications related to the gird I
  • 00:15:15
    think one of the big things though is if
  • 00:15:16
    a patient has a normal EGD they have not
  • 00:15:19
    improved with the empiric PPI trial then
  • 00:15:22
    I think the next thing that you could
  • 00:15:24
    potentially do is say let me just rule
  • 00:15:26
    out any other type of esophageal dis
  • 00:15:28
    order so I'm going to get esophagal
  • 00:15:31
    manometry and if I do that I can rule
  • 00:15:34
    out an esophagal motility disorder
  • 00:15:36
    because if all they have is their lower
  • 00:15:38
    Sagal sphincter tone is reduced but all
  • 00:15:41
    the other mid distal kind of tone is
  • 00:15:43
    normal it's likely gir and if that's the
  • 00:15:47
    case I've ruled out any other Sage Gil
  • 00:15:48
    motility
  • 00:15:50
    disorder the other thing that I can do
  • 00:15:52
    is I can get pH monitoring this is where
  • 00:15:55
    I take kind of a little U it's kind of
  • 00:15:58
    like a pH sensor goes through the nose
  • 00:16:01
    down into the esophagus and it has
  • 00:16:03
    different pH sensors at each different
  • 00:16:06
    point here of the esophagus what happens
  • 00:16:08
    is in a patient who has very bad gird
  • 00:16:10
    hydrochloric acid will move up into the
  • 00:16:13
    esophagus and it'll trigger this pH
  • 00:16:15
    sensor so the amount of times that this
  • 00:16:18
    pH sensor picks up that the pH is lower
  • 00:16:21
    than it's supposed to be it'll trigger a
  • 00:16:24
    triggering of the score activation and
  • 00:16:26
    what happens is this will lead to the
  • 00:16:28
    act the calculation of something called
  • 00:16:30
    a demer score and the demer score
  • 00:16:32
    greater than 14.7 how they came up with
  • 00:16:34
    that I'm not sure really helps me to
  • 00:16:36
    identify that this sensor was picking up
  • 00:16:38
    drops and pH pretty frequently and it
  • 00:16:41
    really adds to the diagnosis of gird so
  • 00:16:44
    that's how I would go about it empiric
  • 00:16:46
    PPI trial they improve it's gir if they
  • 00:16:49
    have alarm symptoms get an EG with
  • 00:16:51
    biopsy if that's normal but they're
  • 00:16:53
    still not better with the PPI trial rule
  • 00:16:56
    out that it's not an esophagal motility
  • 00:16:57
    disorder and then from there try and do
  • 00:17:00
    the actual pH monitoring to definitely
  • 00:17:03
    see if they have the evidence of
  • 00:17:05
    gird now we've identified gird how do we
  • 00:17:09
    treat it it's really pretty
  • 00:17:11
    straightforward we got to suppress
  • 00:17:12
    hydrochloric acid production because
  • 00:17:13
    that's the Crux of it all obviously it's
  • 00:17:15
    about treating the underlying causes so
  • 00:17:18
    in obesity what should you do lose
  • 00:17:20
    weight in patients who have some type of
  • 00:17:23
    uh maybe trigger such as caffeine reduce
  • 00:17:25
    your caffeine if you're smoking stop
  • 00:17:27
    smoking if you drink alcohol reduce your
  • 00:17:29
    alcohol intake these are things that
  • 00:17:31
    potentially can be
  • 00:17:32
    reversed but otherwise it should always
  • 00:17:35
    start with trying to suppress the
  • 00:17:36
    hydrochloric acid production in patients
  • 00:17:38
    with severe gird so really bad heartburn
  • 00:17:41
    maybe on top of that they have atypical
  • 00:17:43
    findings like cough laryngitis worsening
  • 00:17:45
    of their asthma and maybe they even have
  • 00:17:47
    a gird complication maybe they have
  • 00:17:48
    reflux of esophagitis maybe they have
  • 00:17:50
    strictures maybe on top of that they've
  • 00:17:52
    had GI bleeds or maybe they have some
  • 00:17:53
    type of barit esophagus you need to get
  • 00:17:55
    them on a PPI right away and keep that
  • 00:17:58
    going going for at least 8 weeks and
  • 00:17:59
    then reevaluate if I can actually step
  • 00:18:01
    down on that PPI ppis work by kind of
  • 00:18:04
    suppressing hydrochloric acid production
  • 00:18:06
    right so they block these hydrogen
  • 00:18:08
    proton ATP channels reduce hydrochloric
  • 00:18:10
    acid secretion that reduces a lot of the
  • 00:18:13
    gird and complications associated with
  • 00:18:16
    gird now if the patient has mild gird
  • 00:18:18
    they just have some mild heartburn they
  • 00:18:20
    have no evidence of any complications no
  • 00:18:23
    esophagitis no strictures no barretts
  • 00:18:26
    nothing to that effect I think h 2as are
  • 00:18:29
    a little bit more appropriate the reason
  • 00:18:31
    why is ppis they can interfere with
  • 00:18:33
    other drugs and reduce the actual
  • 00:18:35
    bioavailability of those drugs because
  • 00:18:36
    they can interact with the cytochrome
  • 00:18:38
    p450 complex and on top of that it
  • 00:18:40
    actually has been associated with like
  • 00:18:41
    electrolyte abnormalities such as
  • 00:18:43
    hypomagnesemia and CI so it's important
  • 00:18:45
    to remember that and so sometimes h2ras
  • 00:18:47
    are just a little bit more safe and not
  • 00:18:49
    as having as many complications so this
  • 00:18:52
    would be things like foden that's a very
  • 00:18:55
    common one renadine whereas pprs are
  • 00:18:57
    things like ome prol pentool Lano prasol
  • 00:19:01
    so how does an H2 work it's the same
  • 00:19:04
    concept it's going to suppress the
  • 00:19:06
    actual histamine response at the
  • 00:19:08
    receptor site histamine actually helps
  • 00:19:10
    to stimulate hydrochloric acid
  • 00:19:12
    production so if I give them this it'll
  • 00:19:14
    block the actual histamine at that
  • 00:19:16
    receptor reduce the hydrochloric acid
  • 00:19:18
    secretion and reduce gird and the any
  • 00:19:21
    for formation of any complications of
  • 00:19:22
    that sense often times when patients
  • 00:19:25
    come in if they have severe gird and
  • 00:19:27
    gird complic put them on a PPI for 8
  • 00:19:29
    weeks review to see if they're getting
  • 00:19:31
    any better and see if you can step down
  • 00:19:32
    to an
  • 00:19:33
    H2 if they can't then maybe you have to
  • 00:19:36
    go back to the lowest dose of the PPI
  • 00:19:37
    that they were on where they were
  • 00:19:39
    completely controlled if they're on an
  • 00:19:41
    H2 and they develop any worsening gird
  • 00:19:43
    or G complications then you have to upti
  • 00:19:45
    trate them to a
  • 00:19:47
    PPI let's say that you've had them on
  • 00:19:49
    Max PPI and they're still not getting
  • 00:19:52
    any better they're still having very bad
  • 00:19:54
    gird they're having gird related
  • 00:19:55
    complications then you need to go to
  • 00:19:57
    What's called a Nance fundoplication so
  • 00:20:00
    what that is is you're going to
  • 00:20:01
    basically take a part of the fundus and
  • 00:20:03
    you're going to you're basically going
  • 00:20:04
    to help to reinforce the lower sofel
  • 00:20:06
    sphincter so you're going to take the
  • 00:20:07
    fundus and literally wrap this sucker
  • 00:20:09
    around the lower sofro sphincter and
  • 00:20:11
    tighten that area up and so look at this
  • 00:20:14
    thing I took the fundus wrapped it
  • 00:20:16
    around it and then I sued it tight and
  • 00:20:18
    now I have a very very tight lower Sagel
  • 00:20:20
    sphincter which will reduce into the
  • 00:20:21
    hydrochloric acid leaking back up into
  • 00:20:23
    the esophagus reducing the gird related
  • 00:20:26
    complications so that'd be a niss
  • 00:20:28
    application if they have refractory gird
  • 00:20:30
    that's not responsive to Medical therapy
  • 00:20:33
    and then also Improvement or at least
  • 00:20:35
    treating of their underlying
  • 00:20:37
    cause last thing is gird has a very high
  • 00:20:41
    risk of cancer especially if it's
  • 00:20:42
    chronic so you need to survey these
  • 00:20:44
    patients if they have any alarm symptoms
  • 00:20:46
    such as vomiting they have dysphasia
  • 00:20:49
    they have anemia they have weight loss
  • 00:20:51
    you really should be doing an EGD if
  • 00:20:53
    they have no dysplasia on an EGD then
  • 00:20:55
    you should at least check it every 3 to
  • 00:20:57
    5 years but if they do have any evidence
  • 00:20:59
    of dysplasia you want to catch it right
  • 00:21:01
    then and there and ablate that area of
  • 00:21:03
    cancer or resect that area of cancer and
  • 00:21:05
    that's something that we'll talk about a
  • 00:21:06
    little bit more when we talk about
  • 00:21:08
    esophageal cancer in the actual oncology
  • 00:21:10
    section all right my friends that covers
  • 00:21:13
    gird I hope that made sense I hope that
  • 00:21:15
    you guys enjoyed it and as always until
  • 00:21:17
