| Abstract;Gastroesophageal reflux(GER) is a term that describes the intermittent regurgitation of stomach material into the esophagus and has been applied to a variety of clinical disorders (GERD) frequently encountered in the care of pediatric patients. The main clinical symptom of GER is usually vomiting. Patients with GERD manifest signs and symptoms that reflect between compromise respiratory function, esophageal barrier function, and nutriton. As a result, recurrent pneumonia, esophagitis, or failure to thrive occur frequently. From previous studies and our results, respiratory diseases are obviously related to GER. Airway obstruction is considered a factor in the deterioration of GER patients. It is very important that respiratory function should be evaluated in the care of GERD. (author abst.) |
