The accuracy of abbreviated esophageal pH monitoring in children

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1984
Extended (18 to 24 hour) esophageal pH monitoring establishes the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) utilizing a pH score, and relates respiratory symptoms to GER when the mean duration of sleep reflux (ZMD) is prolonged. A disadvantage of this method is the expense of overnight hospitalization. We performed extended esophageal pH recordings in

Advancements in the analysis of esophageal pH monitoring in GERD

Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2011
Ambulatory 24 h esophageal pH monitoring enables quantification of esophageal acid exposure and assessment of the temporal relationship between symptoms and acid reflux events. Analysis of pH monitoring is currently divided into upright and recumbent periods based on the patient's body position.

Upper Esophageal pH Monitoring of Children With the Bravo pH Capsule

The Laryngoscope, 2004
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.

Accuracy and Reproducibility of 12-h Esophageal pH Monitoring

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 1991
SummarySeventy‐five consecutive 24‐h intraesophageal pH recordings performed according to the methods of Jolley et al. were evaluated. Total scores and the mean duration of sleep reflux (ZMD) were calculated for the first and the last 12 h, respectively, and compared to each other, as well as to the full 24‐h recording.

Esophageal pH Monitoring in Infants and Children

Pediatrics, 1996
The North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition recently published a medical position statement on the indications for esophageal pH monitoring in infants and children.1 The statement includes a discussion, with 126 references, of clinical situations in which esophageal pH monitoring is generally useful, generally not useful, or

Intraoperative esophageal manometry and early postoperative esophageal pH monitoring in children

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1989
Intraoperative esophageal manometry has not been correlated with early postoperative extended esophageal pH monitoring (EEpHM) in children with gastroesophageal reflux. Twenty-seven children were studied with the following design: (1) abnormal preoperative EEpHM; (2) intraoperative measurement of lower esophageal high pressure zone (LEHPZ) pressure and

From sponges to capsules. The history of esophageal pH monitoring

Diseases of the Esophagus, 2009
The understanding of digestive physiology, gastric acid production, and gastroesophageal reflux disease has been evolving since the 16th century. During this time, several methods to detect gastric refluxate were ingeniously developed. Ambulatory esophageal pH monitoring is still the current gold standard test for the diagnosis of gastroesophageal ...

Esophageal pH Monitoring Data During Chest Physiotherapy

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 1991
SummarySixty‐three infants, aged from 1 to 4 months, were examined for gastroesophageal reflux (GER) using esophageal pH monitoring. Thirty were examined because of chronic vomiting, 21 were healthy controls examined for GER as part of a screening program for sudden infant death syndrome, and 12 had an acute respiratory disease (RD).

A New Ambulatory System for Extended Esophageal pH Monitoring

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 1985
Summary:A new 24‐h ambulatory esophageal pH monitoring system (AMBI 24) was evaluated in 72 pediatric patients with suspected gastroesophageal reflux (GER). Fortyseven of these patients were monitored at home and the other 25 in our hospital. This system was employed without complication in infants and a full range of pediatric patients, as well as in ...

Esophageal pH Monitoring: Methodology, Indication and Interpretation

European Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1991
Reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus has for long been accepted as a cause of esophagitis, failure to thrive, and anemia. But, at the same time, gastro-esophageal reflux (GER) is recognized as a physiological phenomenon occurring now and then in every one, especially in the postprandial period.
