Q

What is measured when a pladtic catheter is inderted to measure reflux

A

Electrical resistance increase as fluid moves ip and also ph

17
Q

What surgery refuces BOS via tigthening sphincter muscles reducing reflux

A

Fundoplication

18
Q

Aspiration is usually hidden. What increases in alount in transplant patients which shoes aspiration

A

Pepsin increwses from gwetric juice

19
Q

Which infection is seen with cf

A

Pseudomonas aeruginosa

20
Q

Can this also lead to bos

A

Yes due to chronic infection lrading to inflammation and dmsage to walls etc

21
Q

What is the rgidence for it coming from aspiration

A

75% pf pa was identical in gastric juice and sputum

22
Q

Which artyicle links aspirstion to cf

A

Al momani et al 2016

23
Q

What was lowered in diversity in cf gj ans sputum in presence of p. Aeruginosa

A

Faecaelibacterium, lactobacillus and roseburia

Would all refuce inflammation
