Эффективность лечения гастроэзофагеального рефлюкса у больных бронхиальной астмой

Sixty four bronchial asthma patients with clinical symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) were observed. Together with the general clinical examination the patients underwent acidogastrometric pH daily monitoring at the distal part of the esophagus and the measurement of main GER parameters. A treatment programme for GER correction according to its severity was created. It was found that the drug correction of GER not only reduced dyspeptic and respiratory signs but contributed to relieve the bronchial asthma course, to achieve the stable condition, to decrease the need in antiasthmatic medication.
