Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease
GENERAL OBJECTIVE: On completion of the seminar students will acquire in depth knowledge regarding gastroesophageal reflux disease, gain skills in identifying & managing the conditions and develop a positive attitude about nurse 's role.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: On completion of seminar students will be able to * Define gastro oesophageal reflux disease * Enlist the risk factors for GERD * Explain the pathophysiology of GERD * List down clinical manifestations GERD * Describe the management of GERD. * Enlist the complications of GERDINTRODUCTION
Gastro oesophageal reflux disease is a common, lifelong condition that requires long term treatment. GERD is the most common upper GI problem seen in adults. Some degree of gastro oesophageal reflex is normal in both adults & children. Excessive reflux may occur because of an in competent lower oesophageal sphincter, pyloric stenosis or a motility disorder. Many patients have (NERD) Non erosive reflux disease show no sign of oesophageal inflammation.

1. Gastro oesophageal reflux disease is a condition in which gastric recreations reflux into oesophagus. (Linda s. William, 2003)
2. GERD entails the reflux of gastric & duodenal contents through the lower oesophageal sphincter (LES) into the oesophagus to cause symptoms or injury to oesophageal, oropharyngeal or respiratory tissues. (Neil R.Floch, 2010) 3. GERD is a heterogeneous syndrome resulting from oesophageal reflux. (Phipps, Monnahon, 2003)
4. GERD is a syndrome with clinically significant symptomatic
