Lower oesophageal pH monitoring--a useful clinical tool.
Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of gastrooesophageal reflux (GOR) can halt unnecessary investigations and prevent medical complications, such as failure to thrive,1 severe oesophagitis,2 and aspiration syndromes.3 The standard investigation for GOR is the upper gastrointestinal barium contrast series. However, because of poor sensitivity and specificity the role of this test in clinical pr...
متن کاملReproducibility of ambulatory oesophageal pH monitoring.
To evaluate the reproducibility of ambulatory 24 hour intraoesophageal pH monitoring, 20 patients were randomly selected to undergo two consecutive investigations. Fifteen patients were classified as either abnormal, or normal on both test days. The amount of acid reflux, expressed as percentage of time with oesophageal pH below 4.0 during the two 24 hour periods, showed 77% concordance. The up...
متن کاملGastro-oesophageal reflux — initial experience with a radiotelemetry system for prolonged oesophageal pH monitoring
A radiotelemetry system has been used to monitor gastro-oesophageal reflux over a prolonged period in 27 asymptomatic control subjects and in 15 patients with reflux symptoms. In control subjects, the frequency of reflux episodes (pH < 5) ranged from 0.1 - 0.7 per hour of recording (median 0.36) by day, and from 0 - 1.0 per hour (median 0.12) by night. The duration of reflux (pH < 5) per hour o...
متن کاملPaediatric gastro-oesophageal reflux: prognostic indicators from pH monitoring.
The original diagnostic 24 hour pH monitoring data in 57 children with gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) were retrospectively reviewed after a minimum of one year follow up. The tracings of children who responded to medical treatment were compared with those who failed to respond and required a fundoplication. Children with GOR secondary to oesophageal atresia/tracheo-oesophageal fistula and neur...
متن کامل24 hour ambulatory oesophageal pH monitoring in uncomplicated Barrett's oesophagus.
The aim of this study was to compare acid reflux in 16 patients with uncomplicated Barrett's oesophagus with 37 patients with reflux oesophagitis and 10 control subjects of comparable age. All patients had 24 hour ambulatory pH monitoring within one week of endoscopy. The controls differed significantly from the other groups in all indices of reflux but there was no difference between the Barre...
