The Role of Pediatric Gastroenterologists in the Evaluation of Complex Aerodigestive Disorders.
Current Gastroenterology Reports 2022 December
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Children with aerodigestive disorders frequently have concerns regarding difficulty breathing, swallowing, and growing. In this review, we explored the role of pediatric gastroenterologists in the evaluation of complex aerodigestive disorders and the overall approach to these often-challenging patients.
RECENT FINDINGS: Pediatric gastroenterologists evaluate children with aerodigestive concerns ranging from dysphagia and gastroesophageal reflux to complex congenital abnormalities such as esophageal atresia. Diagnostic tools, such as multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH monitoring, are used for diagnosing gastroesophageal reflux and assessing the correlation with symptoms. Endoscopic evaluation, and in some complex cases, with therapeutic dilations may also be performed. Gastrointestinal dysmotility evaluation with manometry studies are also being increasingly utilized. Multidisciplinary aerodigestive programs can provide a coordinated approach to children with complex airway, pulmonary and gastrointestinal tract disorders. A pediatric gastroenterologist's expertise and specialized skills not only offer many diagnostic tools for these complicated medical cases but are also important in long term medical management.
