Sleep Disorders and GIS Symptoms • Disturbed sleep is common among patients with GI symptoms. • Chicken, egg or vicious cycle ? • Sleep disturbance is commonly reported by GER sufferers.
There is an association between irritable bowel syndrome and sleep disorders. • Waking up at least four times a month has been found to be associated with a variety of GI symptoms like pain and diarrhea.
Sleep disorders can lead to changes in visceral sensations. • Sleep deprivation hyperalgesia M. Maneerattanaporn. Neurogastroenterol Motil 2009;21:97-99
GER Passive transition of gastric content into the oesophageus due to the transient or chronic relaxation of lower oesophageal sphincter
Retrosternal burning sensation and / or pain • Regurgitation of gastric content • Bitter taste in mouth • erozive oesophagitis ( stricture, Barrett metaplasia, adenocarcinoma ) • May be asymptomatic
Nonerosive form 60 % • Erosive form 35 % • Complicated erosive cases 5 %
Pulmonary Asthma Aspirationpneumonia Chronic bronchitis Pulmonary fibrosis Cardiac Chest pain ENT Hoarsness Laryngitis Pharyngitis Chroniccough Globus sensation Disphonia Sinusitis Subglottic stenosis Laryngeal cancer Extraoesophageal Manifestatıons of GER
GER- related oral andlaryngopharyngeal manifestations • Larynx oedema and hyperemia • Vocal corderythema, polyps, granulomas, ulcers • Hyperemia of posteriorpharynx and lymphoid hyperplasia • Interarytenoidchanges • Dental erosion • Subglottic stenosis • Laryngealcancer Vaezi MF, Hicks DM, Abelson TI, Richter JE. Clin Gastro Hep 2003;1:333-344.
Odontologia Dental erosion Pchyatric Sleep disorders Sexual disorders Anxiety Pediatric Recurrent pneumonia Sudden infant death Otitis media Other Bad odor in the mouth Dry mouth
Sleep-related GER • Oesophagitis • Barrett oesophagus • Oesphageal adenocarcinoma • Arousals • Poor sleep quality • Excessive daytime slşeepiness • Deteoriation in quality of life • GER- related exstraoesophageal manifestations
UES in proximality • 18-22 cm. • LES in distality • 3 types of contraction primary secondary non-peristaltic
Transient LES relaxations occur without swallowing • Responsible of 63 % -74 % of GER episodes
Increase in gastric acid secretions Delay in gastric emptying Increase in gastric pressure GER
Large pleural-abdominal pressure gradients • Obesity • Oesophageal dysmotility • LES hypotension • Hiatal hernia GER
Mechanisms of GER-related respiratory symptoms • Nocturnal ascit reflux microaspiration exudative mucosal reaction • Ascid reflux esophagus vagus nerve bronchoconstriction
Respiration is not a static process. • Body position changes pressure conditions. • In some respiratory diseases, subatmospheric intrathoracic pressure increases with volume increase as the result of the increase in respiratory resistance GER
GER AND SLEEP • Sleep-related GER in patients with GER 79 % • Sleep Heart Health Study 25 % • BMI • Consumption of carbonated drinks • snoring • Sleepiness • İnsomnia • Benzodiazepines • HT and asthma Fass R. Chest 2005;127:1658-66
Physiology of sleep-related GER • Basal gastric ascite secretion peaks between 20.00 pm - 1.00 am. • Gastric emptying delays. • No saliva production • No swallowing during stable sleep • UES pressure drops from 44 mm Hg to 10 mm Hg. • During REM sleep UES reflex persists.
LES pressure doesn’t change. • No transient LES relaxations during stable sleep • Esophagus ascite clearance significantly delays during sleep and requires arousal for clearance. • Esophageal ascite migrates toward proximal. Harding SM. Sleep Medicine Clinics 2007; 2:1
Sleep Position Gastric ascite is very close to the esophagus due to the posterior position of the oesophagus.
GER events in wakefulness are frequent but short. • Less frequent in sleep but long . because of the increase in esophageal clearance duration • Eating within the two hours before sleep
Sleep is a risk factor for GER. • No difference between REM and NREM • More frequent in the first half of sleep • More frequent in lateral decubitus position Demeter P, Pap A. J Gastroenterol 2004;39:815-20 Hila A. J Clin Gastroenterol 2005; 39:579-83 Demeter P, Pap A. J Gastroenterol 2004;39:815-20
Ascite production increases in wakefulness. • LES pressure decreases as sleep deepens in healthy volunteers. Kahrilas PJ,et.al. Gastroenterology 1987;92:466-71 Stacher G,et al. Gastroenterology ; 1975;68:1449-55
Diaphragma is related with LES through PEL . • Respiratory work of diaphragma increases during OSA • Cardia is affected due to frequent changes in PEL position cardia insufficiency • Deteoriation in swallowing
Obesity and alcohol abuse increase intraabdominal pressure and decrease in oesophageal clearance
Sleep-related GER and OSAS • Obstructive apnea episodes in parallel with the increase in intrathoracic pressure transdiaphragmatik pressure increases effect on phrenooesophageal • Pressure changes cardia insufficiency gastric volume clearance LES insufficiency GER
Serious respiratory symptoms without typical upper GIS complaints • Awakening at sleep with panic choking and ascitic burning
2000 adults, 20-44 age • Snoring in 5 % of males and 2 % of females • Apneas in patients with GER
GER symptoms are more frequent in older patients with OSA than without OSA. Teramoto et al. J Am Geriatr Soc 1999; 116: 17-21
OSAS + GER CPAP decrease in reflux events • OSA, may be a causal factor for GER. Green BT. Arch Intern Med 2003;13:41-5
Reflü Arousal • GER causes OSA • OSA + GER , 20 mg omeprazol 2x1 • Improvement in AHI in 30 % of the cases Kerr P. Chest 1992;101:1539-44
10 cases with OSAS • OSAS + GER in 8 • 20 mg omeprazol 2x1, 2.7 months + diet • Significant improvement in EDS Demeter P, Pap A. J Gastroenterol 2004;39:815-20
CPAP, can decrease GER in cases with OSAS by increasing intraoesophageal pressure. • Seropositivity for Helicobacter pylori has been found to be significantly high in patients with OSAS. Ünal M. Clin Otolaryngol 2003;28:100-2
OSA Dph (-) pTh PEL pTD TLESR (n) GER
Oesophageal and tracheal ascit affects airway reactivity and peak expiratory flow rates during sleep. • In patients with GER + nocturnal asthma, when oesophageal pH drops, PEFR 8 L/m in the monitorization of oesophageal and tracheal pH • When tracheal pH drops , PEFR 84 L/m
Diagnosis of Sleep-Related GER • Careful history • Oesophageal pH test • Endoscopy • PSG
Esophageal pH monitorization • 24 hours • pH < 4 GER • Distal esophagus probe is placed 5 cm above the LES. • Manometric determination of LES is gold standard for the placement of pH probe.
A reference lead is placed on the anterior chest wall and the esophageal pH probe is then connected to a portable data acquisition device that has an event marker that the patient pushes to note when symptoms occur.
Wireless, Catheter-Free Esophageal pH Monitoring Potential Advantages • Improved patient comfort and acceptance • Continued normal work, activities and diet study • Longer reporting periods possible (48 hours) • Maintain constant probe position relative to SCJ
63 pts with OSA ( AHI > 15 ) • 41 controls • 47% of GER events has no relation with apneas • 11 % were preceded within 1 minute of apneic events • 30 % were followed by apneic events • 12 % occurred simultaneously
Treatment • Conservative measures • Medical treatment • Proton pump inhibitors • H2 receptor antagonists, prokinetic agents • Surgical treatment • Fundoplication
Future medications GABA antagonists Baclofen
Open and laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication • Symptom resolution in 80 % to 90 % of GER patients • Complications • Dysphagia • Chest herniation • Vagal nerve damage
62 % of surgically treated patients still require GER medication postoperatively. • Endoscopic fundoplication is considered experimental. Rothstein R. Gastroenterology 2006;131:704-12
Management strategy for sleep-related GER • Conservative measures + PPI (30-60 min before dinner) prokinetic agent esophageal pH testing
