The Correlation between Endoscopic Reflux Esophagitis and Combined Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance-pH Monitoring in Children

Correlation between Reflux and multichannel intraluminal impedance pH monitoring in untreated volunteers.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Although probable causative agents have been identified (e.g., refluxate components, tobacco smoke), the definitive mechanism for inflammation-related laryngeal mucosal damage remains elusive. Multichannel intraluminal impedance combined with pH monitoring (MII/pH) has emerged as a sensitive tool for diagnosis and characterization of gastroesophageal reflux disease with la...

Detection of gastroesophageal reflux in children with cerebral palsy using combined multichannel intraluminal impedance-ph procedure.

Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is a very common condition in children with neurological impairment and this can influence nutritional and respiratory outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of GER in children with cerebral palsy (CP) using multiple intraluminal impedance (MII)-pH monitoring. The use of combined MII-pH allows for the detection of both acid and non-acid ref...

MULTICHANNEL INTRALUMINAL IMPEDANCE AND pH.

Diagnostic difficulties during combined multichannel intraluminal impedance and pH monitoring in patients with esophagitis or Barrett's esophagus.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common esophageal diseases in developed countries. It is widely believed that GERD symptoms are caused by acid refluxate within the esophagus, so ambulatory 24 hour pH-monitoring became the gold standard in detecting gastroesophageal reflux. Traditional ambulatory pH monitoring is unable to detect a gastroesophageal reflux with pH >4. Th...
