Aspiration following elective intubation.
نویسنده
چکیده
We have additional fi ndings regarding our study in CHEST (May 2013) 1 of gastric-to-pulmonary aspiration in adult surgical patients undergoing elective intubation. Th e original study used an enzymatic assay for identifi cation of pepsin A. Since publication, our group has validated an enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) for pepsin A, which we subsequently used to analyze the same airway samples collected in our previous study. 1

Background. Lansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, is used in peptic ulcers and other acid dyspeptic disorders. The aim of this study is to determine whether a single oral dose of lansoprazole 30 mg, administered a night before surgery , is effective on pH and volume of gastric contents after excluding those samples contaminated with duodenogastric refluxate (DGR). Patients and Methods. This cl...
