[Acid gastroesophageal reflux in the child with intubation, artificial respiration and continuous nutrition. Apropos of 28 cases].
Pédiatrie 1988
Continuous monitoring of distal oesophageal pH and oesophagoscopy were performed in 28 children aged 15 days to 12 years (mean: 14 months) intubated and ventilated for bronchiolitis (7), pneumonia (8), epiglotitis (2), neurological distress (8), whooping cough (2) or recurrent apneic spells (1). Esophageal pH was studied 2-8 days (mean: 2 days) after intubation; its duration was 12-23 h 50 min (M: 22 h). An abnormal gastroesophageal reflux was presumed when the percent of total monitoring time during which the esophageal pH fell below 4.0 was above 5.2%. The esophagoscopy was carried out on the day following the pH monitoring. All children were in the supine position and fed a pH 7 diet infused continuously with a nasogastric tube; 15 children were under pancuronium. An abnormal gastroesophageal reflux was found in 4 children, associated with a benign esophagitis in 2. A benign esophagitis without gastroesophageal reflux was found in 3 cases. One child had a peptic ulcer of the bulb without gastroesophageal reflux nor oesophagitis. 21 children had no abnormality. Only one of the 15 children under pancuronium had an abnormal gastroesophageal reflux. We conclude that in intubated children fed continuously with a nasogastric tube, gastroesophageal reflux is unfrequent and, when present, appears to have little consequences.
