Activity of lower oesophageal sphincter in healthy patients in various postural positions
Beranová, Kateřina ; Bitnar, Petr (advisor) ; Hlava, Štěpán (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to describe information about GERD, its etiology, anatomy, pathology, treatment options and rehabilitation in patients with GERD. Lower oesophageal sphincter and antireflux barrier. The study was approved by the ethics committee. 30 probands were included in the study and their health status was verified using the Health Related Quality of Life questionnaire. A manometric catheter was inserted, proband was instructed to maintain various postural positions. Lying supine with lower limbs elevated above the surface, lying supine with lower limbs elevated above the surface with head fixated manualy, sitting and standing position, load in the center of gravity 3/6/9 kg, load outside the center of gravity 3/6/9 kg, lifting of the office chair. It has been shown that LES pressure increases in all postural positions compared to resting pressure. The positions activate the diaphragm to demonstrate the postural function of the diaphragm. The most significant change in LES pressures was in the postural position of lying supine with lower limbs elevated above the surface, the LES resting pressure of 20.34mmHg changed to the pressure of LES 40.92mmHg. Clinical experience and studies have shown that patients with GERD have disposition for respiratory and / or vertebrogenic difficulties....
Monitoring of postural stability of crural diaphragm in patients suffering from functional disorders of upper digestive system with the help of manometry
Sedláčková, Iveta ; Bitnar, Petr (advisor) ; Kodríková, Kateřina (referee)
The diploma thesis aims to describe the functional disorders of the upper gastrointestinal tract with an emphasis on gastroesophageal reflux disease. The theoretical part describes the anatomy, pathophysiology, etiology of GERD and treatment options. In the practical part is measured postural reactivity of the diaphragm in the selected 15 probands with GERD. We measured the postural reactivity of the diaphragm using high resolution manometry in various postural situations: lying on the back with flexion of lower limbs above the surface, standing and standing on the AIREX mat, for standing patients, we used weights of 3,6 and 9 kilos inside and outside the center of gravity. Patients also completed the GERD Health-Related Quality of Life questionnaire. The measurements confirmed an increase in resting pressure in all positions except standing, which correlated with the highest occurrence of reflux episodes in standing. The results were compared with a healthy control group. The activation of the crural part of the diaphragm was the same in both groups. We found in patients with GERD decreased coordination, delayed and influent activation of the crural diaphragm. The most significant increase in pressure in GERD patients occurred in the postural position of the flexed lower limbs and in standing...
