Upper esophageal pH monitoring of children with the Bravo pH capsule.
INTRODUCTION Reflux of gastric contents is a common, welldocumented occurrence among adults. Since the early 1980s, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has been increasingly recognized as a clinical entity among children. Several investigators have noted that approximately half of all newborns have reflux. In the study of Nelson et al., peak incidence of reflux occurred at approximately 4 mo...
متن کاملBravo® Capsule Aspiration: A Rare Case Report
Bravo® capsule (BC) (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) endoscopy is a reliable, viable, and well-tolerated diagnostic modality for resistant gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Common complications of the procedure include early dislodgment, poor transmission, and premature removal due to intractable pain, while aspiration of the capsule is exceedingly rare. This paper reports a case of BC aspira...
متن کاملReliability, Safety and Effectiveness of the BravoTM Capsule: A Catheter-free pH Monitoring System for Evaluation of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease in Children

متن کاملCapsule pH monitoring: is wireless more?
S ince its introduction in 1974, ambulatory oesophageal pH monitoring has secured a valuable but complementary role in the diagnosis of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. Monitoring of oesophageal pH allows not only the detection of excessive levels of acid exposure but also, and more importantly, assessment of the relationship between acid reflux and symptoms. It is especially useful for clari...
متن کاملEvaluation of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Using the Bravo Capsule pH System.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a disease predominantly seen in the West but there is a rising trend in Asia. Ambulatory 24-hour catheter-based pH monitoring has been the de facto gold standard test for GERD that correlates symptoms with acid reflux episodes. However, drawbacks such as patients' discomfort, and catheter displacement render the test as cumbersome and error-prone. The B...
