CASE Based Discussion Session 1 – Gary Falk and panel

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In a video discussing different approaches to managing unexplained chronic cough, three presenters, Uzma Siddiqui, Dr. Falk, and Dr. Hirano, discuss a case of a 42-year-old woman with chronic cough. The patient has no history of heartburn or acid regurgitation, but has seen her quality of life impacted by the cough. The presenters discuss different testing and treatment options, including an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), a trial of BIDPPI, impedance testing, and referral to other specialists such as ENT or pulmonary. They also discuss the importance of considering non-GERD causes of cough, such as post-nasal drip or rhinosinusitis. The presenters emphasize the need for a multidisciplinary approach, taking into account the patient's individual history and symptoms. They also caution against unnecessary invasive procedures and emphasize the importance of considering the patient's overall well-being and quality of life.
