What is GERD?• GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease): symptoms or complications resulting
from the reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus or beyond, including the oral cavity and/or lungs – Heartburn: uncomfortable feeling of burning/warmth rising up behind the sternum toward
the neck– Regurgitation: retrograde movement of GI contents up the esophagus, often causing an
acid/sour taste and/or sensation of liquid/food in chest or throat
• Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR): retrograde movement of gastric contents into the larynx, pharynx, and upper aerodigestive tract
• Aspiration: entry of material from the oropharynx or GI tract into the larynx and lower respiratory tract

How Common is GERD?
• 60% of adults experience reflux symptoms over a 12 month period
• 30-40% had reflux symptoms in the last month
• 20-30% have weekly symptoms
• 10% have symptoms ≥ twice weekly

How Does GERD Relate to NTM?
• NTM are ubiquitous environmental organisms
• Ingested NTM may reflux from the stomach and be aspirated into the lungs
• In the proper host setting, this may result in chronic infection

Are There Medications That Reduce Reflux?Baclofen Bethanechol
• Improves esophageal motility/clearance
• Increases LES pressures
• Anecdotal evidence of reducing reflux
• ** No reflux studies **

Take Home Points
• Not all reflux is acid
• The GI tract and airway are close together
• Choose the proper reflux test and interpret properly
• Acid reducers don’t reduce reflux
• Lifestyle mods, meds, and surgery can reduce reflux
