The Management of Children with Gastroesophageal Reflux and Respiratory Symptoms
Research Motivation: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a well-recognised cause of respiratory symptoms in children. Confirming a diagnosis of reflux aspiration remains difficult, due to limitations in currently available investigations. The presence of pepsin in respiratory secretions has been documented in literature as a marker of reflux aspiration; however the correlation of pepsin a...
متن کاملLipid-Laden Alveolar Macrophages and pH Monitoring in Gastroesophageal Reflux-Related Respiratory Symptoms
Lipid-laden alveolar macrophages and pH monitoring have been used in the diagnosis of chronic aspiration in children with gastroesophageal reflux (GER). This study was conducted to prove a correlation between the detection of alimentary pulmonary fat phagocytosis and an increasing amount of proximal gastroesophageal reflux. It was assumed that proximal gastroesophageal reflux better correlates ...
متن کاملGeneration of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Symptoms During Esophageal Acid Infusion With Concomitant Esophageal pH Monitoring in Healthy Adults
BACKGROUND/AIMS The sensitivity of the upper and lower esophageal mucosa to acid is considered to differ. We investigated the relationship between pH changes in different sites of the esophagus and generation of gastroesophageal reflux symptoms during an acid infusion test. METHODS An acid infusion catheter was placed at 5 or 15 cm above the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) in 18 healthy volu...
متن کاملFrequency and site of gastroesophageal reflux in patients with chest symptoms. Studies using proximal and distal pH monitoring.
Prolonged ambulatory pH monitoring was performed on 89 patients with previous diagnosis of asthma (27 patients), chronic cough (28 patients), noncardiac chest pain (34 patients), and on 27 healthy control subjects. The extent of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) was determined using a catheter containing two antimony pH electrodes positioned 5 cm and 20 cm above the superior border of the manometri...
متن کاملA Review of Esophageal pH Monitoring for the Diagnosis of Gastroesophageal Reflux in Children
Received January 5, 2000 Abstract Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is a common disease found in early childhood. It commonly presents with vomiting and feeding problems. However, it may involve other systems like respiratory system, growth failure. Twenty-four hours esophageal pH monitoring is a useful technique in diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux. Results of 24 hours esophageal pH monitoring ...
