Discussing the influence of electrode location in the result of esophageal prolonged pH monitoring
BACKGROUND There is a large consensus to preserve the distance of 5 cm above the proximal border of the lower esophageal sphincter (PBLES) as appropriate to the location of the electrode of the pH-metry. The main objective of this study is to determine whether placement of the electrode below the recommended location achieves a significant difference in the calculation of the DeMeester score. ...
متن کاملCardiac Output Monitoring in Preterm Infants
Maintaining optimal circulatory status is a key component of preterm neonatal care. Low-cardiac output (CO) in the preterm neonate leads to inadequate perfusion of vital organs and has been linked to a variety of adverse outcomes with heightened acute morbidity and mortality and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Having technology available to monitor CO allows us to detect low-output states ...
متن کاملEsophageal pH and Combined Impedance-pH Monitoring in Children
Esophageal pH monitoring is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease because of the normal ranges across the pediatric age range. However, this method can only detect acid reflux. Multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring has recently been used for the detection of bolus reflux in infants and children. This method allows for the detectio...
متن کاملEsophageal pH monitoring abnormalities and gastroesophageal reflux disease in infants with intestinal malrotation.
HYPOTHESIS Infants with rotational abnormalities of the midgut mesentery are at high risk for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and for sudden infant death (SID) from GERD. DESIGN A survey of the prevalence of GERD and the risk factor for SID from GERD in a case series of infants treated for congenital anomalies that include intestinal malrotation. Eighty-one (89%) of the infants studied...
متن کاملCan pH monitoring reliably detect gastro-oesophageal reflux in preterm infants?
Gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) is the regurgitation of gastric contents into the oesophagus. It is alleged to be the cause of many clinical problems in premature infants, such as failure to thrive, apnoea, desaturation, bradycardia, and stridor. 2 Twenty four hour oesophageal pH monitoring is currently regarded as the optimal method of diagnosing occult GOR in infants with respiratory events. ...
