Simultaneous tracheal and oesophageal pH monitoring during mechanical ventilation.
OBJECTIVE To simultaneously record tracheal and oesophageal pH in mechanically ventilated children to determine: (1) the feasibility and safety of the method; (2) the incidence of gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) and pulmonary contamination; and (3) their associated risk factors. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Paediatric intensive care unit in a university hospital. PATIENTS Twenty mech...
متن کاملSimultaneous tracheal and oesophageal pH measurements in asthmatic patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux.
BACKGROUND An association between asthma and gastro-oesophageal reflux is well recognised but the underlying mechanism is unclear. One suggestion is that gastric juice is aspirated into the tracheal and upper airways but detection of these events is difficult and involves radioisotopic studies. A new method of making direct measurements of tracheal and oesophageal pH over a 24 hour period is de...
متن کاملDoes mechanical ventilation precipitate gastro-oesophageal reflux during enteral feeding?
The influence of intermittent positive pressure ventilation on gastro-oesophageal reflux in preterm infants is not known. In many neonatal units, however, concern that ventilation may increase gastro-oesophageal reflux (and therefore aspiration) leads to avoidance of enteral feeding during ventilation. We have therefore performed a crossover study of gastrooesophageal reflux by monitoring lower...

This review provides an update on the various techniques that are available to monitor patients during mechanical ventilation with an emphasis on clinical observations and applications in critically ill patients.
متن کاملSimultaneous recordings of oesophageal acid exposure with conventional pH monitoring and a wireless system (Bravo).
OBJECTIVES Oesophageal pH monitoring is a useful test for the diagnosis of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) but has some limitations related to the nasopharyngeal electrode. Recently, a telemetric catheter free system (CFS) (Bravo; Medtronic) was developed. The aim of this study was to determine the concordance of data between the conventional pH measurement system (CPHMS) and the CFS B...
