To emphasize the relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and asthma symptoms or exacerbations.
Selective review of the scientific literature.
Although studies in recent years have offered insight into the relationship between GERD and asthma symptoms, many nurse practitioners (NPs) fail to recognize atypical GERD symptoms, which may explain difficult-to-treat asthma and exacerbation. It has become evident that patients suffering from persistent asthma display an increased prevalence of GERD.
While there are increasing constraints that limit the provider-patient interaction time, it is imperative that NPs develop keen assessment skills to effectively diagnose and treat asthma symptoms that are a product of GERD. Awareness of the asthma-GERD relationship allows NPs to quickly obtain pertinent information and successfully determine how to efficiently treat symptomatic asthmatic patients.
强调胃食管反流病（GERD）与哮喘症状或发作之间的关系。
对科学文献的选择性回顾。
尽管近年来的研究对GERD与哮喘症状之间的关系提供了见解，但许多执业护士（NP）未能识别非典型GERD症状，这可能解释了难治性哮喘和病情加重的原因。显然，患有持续性哮喘的患者GERD患病率增加。
虽然限制医患互动时间的因素越来越多，但NP必须培养敏锐的评估技能，以有效诊断和治疗由GERD引起的哮喘症状。了解哮喘与GERD的关系使NP能够快速获取相关信息，并成功确定如何有效治疗有症状的哮喘患者。
