Resumo |
Objectives: Laryngo-hypopharyngeal sensitivity (LPS) as measured by thresholds to mechanostimulation and chemostimulation is important in the prevention of pulmonary aspiration. The presence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) increases thresholds to mechanostimulation. However, the effect of GERD on thresholds to chemostimulation remains unknown. The aim of this study was to compare laryngo-hypopharyngeal thresholds to chemostimulation in subjects with GERD with those of healthy subjects and to determine the relationship between thresholds to mechanostimulation and chemostimulation. |
