| English abstract | OBJECTIVE: To identify this vagal reflex using bronchial provocation tests in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. METHODS: The study group was composed of 10 patients presenting endoscopic evidence of hiatal hernia or gastroesophageal reflux disease, and the control group consisted of 11 patients presenting no evidence of either condition. All subjects were submitted to bronchial provocation with carbachol. RESULTS: The provocation test was positive in 5 (50%) of the study group patients and 3 (27%) of the control group patients (p = 0.64). CONCLUSION: The hypothesis that the airways of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (and no history of asthma-like respiratory symptoms) might be more responsive than those of individuals without the disease remains unproven |
| Portuguese abstract | OBJETIVO: O intuito deste trabalho foi evidenciar a existência desse reflexo vagal, através de uma broncoprovocação, em pacientes portadores de refluxo gastroesofágico. MÉTODOS: Onze pacientes com endoscopia sem evidências de refluxo gastroesofágico ou hérnia hiatal (grupo controle) e dez pacientes com hérnia hiatal ou refluxo gastroesofágico foram submetidos à broncoprovocação com carbacol. RESULTADOS: O teste foi positivo em 5 dos pacientes com hérnia hiatal ou refluxo gastroesofágico (50%), e em 3 do grupo controle (27%) (p = 0,64). CONCLUSÃO: A hipótese de que as vias aéreas de pacientes com refluxo gastroesofágico sem sintomas asmatiformes anteriores possam ser mais responsivas do que as de pacientes sem refluxo gastroesofágico permanece não comprovada |
