The influence of Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation on gastroesophageal reflux in infants under the age of 1 year Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND: Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation (IPV) is an airway clearance technique used at any age to facilitate the removal of secretions from the respiratory tract. The effect of IPV on gastroesophageal reflux(GER) is not well documented. This study aimed to determine the influence of IPV on GER in infants.
METHODS: During a 24-hour multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH monitoring (MII-pH), infants in the intervention group ...
Diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) remains a challenge. The symptoms and manifestations caused by GERD vary from nonerosive reflux disease over Barrett's esophagus to chronic respiratory disease. As a consequence, it is clear that not one investigation technique will provide an answer in all situations. Although many diagnostic techniques are available, most of them are not needed to diagnose GERD. Upper gastrointestinal ...
