Impact of Sleep Positioning Device on Acid Exposure and Outcomes in Lung Transplant Recipients With Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.
Key Points
To evaluate the effect of a sleep positioning device on pulmonary function in lung transplant recipients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Investigated the impact of a sleep positioning device (SPD) on pulmonary function and GERD symptoms.
Monitored acid exposure and lung function outcomes after lung transplantation (LT).
SPD use stabilized or improved pulmonary function in patients with GERD post-LT.
Considered a safe and cost-effective adjunctive therapy for managing GERD.
Abstract
Use of a novel SPD can stabilize or improve pulmonary function in patients with GERD after LT. SPD may be a safe and cost-effective adjunctive therapy for the management of GERD after LT.
