Reflux disease has gained in importance over the last decade since we know that many of the symptoms and diseases of the upper aerodigestive tract might be associated with reflux. However, a distinction needs to be made between extraesophageal reflux (EER) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). There are several techniques available for the diagnosis of EER. Furthermore, there are various pH monitoring devices to determine acid contamination of the larynx and the pharynx. In addition, flexible transnasal esophagoscopy is a practicable technique for the rapid examination of reflux, its cause as well as the diagnosis of reflux-induced mucosal changes in the esophagus. The present article describes the instruments used for the diagnosis of reflux against the background of our own experience and the international literature.
在过去十年中，反流性疾病的重要性日益凸显，因为我们知道上消化道气道的许多症状和疾病可能与反流有关。然而，需要区分食管外反流（EER）和胃食管反流病（GERD）。有几种技术可用于诊断EER。此外，有各种pH监测设备可用于确定喉和咽的酸污染情况。另外，可弯曲经鼻食管镜检查是一种可行的技术，用于快速检查反流情况、其病因以及诊断反流引起的食管黏膜变化。本文结合我们自己的经验和国际文献，介绍了用于诊断反流的仪器。
