Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Dysfunction of the lower esophageal sphincter has been demonstrated in the cat shock model. Analogies have been drawn to reflux and aspiration in the critically ill patient. In a cat shock model, lower esophageal sphincter pressure is reduced and response to bethanechol is impaired. Upon resuscitation to basal state with heparinized shed blood, the lower esophageal basal pressure returns to normal values, and response to bethanechol is restored. This model may explain reflux and aspiration in the critically ill patient.
