Objectives: The authors hypothesized that acute respiratory distress (ARD) delays gastric emptying. The objective was to test this hypothesis by assessing gastric emptying on the second and seventh days of life in premature infants with ARD resulting from pulmonary disease.
Methods: Thirty-nine newborns with ARD starting on the first day of life were selected and paired with 39 healthy control newborns matched by weight (within 250 g).
Background: Scarce information is available on the effects of body's positioning in the number and the duration of gastroesophageal reflux episodes in very low birth weight infants.
Aim: To evaluate the influence of prone compared to supine positions on the frequency and duration of acid gastroesophageal reflux episodes in very low birth weight infants and study the role of body position in the occurrence of exams with reflux index > or = 5% and > or = 10%.
Methods: Sixty one prolonged esophageal pH monitoring exams were retrospectively analyzed.
