GASTRO-OESOPHAGEAL REFLUX Mechanisms of gastro-oesophageal reflux in preterm and term infants with reflux disease
Background: Transient lower oesophageal sphincter relaxation (TLOSR) is the predominant mechanism of gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) in healthy infants but the mechanisms of GOR in infants with GOR disease (GORD) are poorly understood. Aims: To measure the occurrence of TLOSR, GOR, and gastric emptying (GE) rate in preterm and term infants with GORD. Patients: Thirty six infants were studied an...
متن کاملGastric emptying and gastro-oesophageal reflux in preterm infants.
Gastro-oesophageal reflux is common in preterm infants, but the role of gastric emptying as a causal factor has not been studied before. Gastric emptying was therefore measured in 19 healthy preterm infants (median gestational age 32 weeks) while concurrently measuring 24 hour lower oesophageal pH, using an antimony pH electrode, positioned manometrically. Real time ultrasonic images of the gas...
متن کاملGastro-oesophageal reflux in mechanically ventilated preterm infants.
Long duration oesophageal pH recordings were performed on 42 mechanically ventilated and parenterally fed preterm infants for a mean (SD) of 94 (28) hours. Their mean (SD) gestational age was 31.5 (2.6) weeks and birth weight 1514 (448) g. Their mean postnatal age was 19 (10) hours at the onset of pH recording, which was performed with the babies supine. The mean hourly values for the total num...
متن کاملGastro-oesophageal Reflux in Neonates, Infants and Children
Does positioning have an effect on GOR? A systematic review of randomised controlled trials (Carroll, 2002) quotes a controlled prospective study of 9 infants with GOR (Orenstein, 1983) which found that positioning at a 60 degree elevation in an infant seat increased reflux compared with the prone position. A later study by the same author (Orenstein, 1990) found no significant difference betwe...
متن کاملGastro-oesophageal reflux disease.
Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease is one of the most common disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Over past decades, considerable shifts in thinking about the disease have taken place. At a time when radiology was the only diagnostic test available, reflux disease was regarded as synonymous with hiatus hernia. After the advent of the flexible endoscope, reflux disease was, for a period, equa...
