laryngopharyngeal reflux/vomiting

Tonsillectomy and tonsillectomy with adenoidectomy are among the most common surgical procedures in otolaryngology practice. Gastroesophageal reflux was identified as a risk factor for complications in tonsillectomy. This prospective study was designed to assess the role of reflux in the development

Pediatric gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) have gained better recognition over the past few years. GER and LPR usually present as regurgitation, emesis, epigastric pain, failure to thrive, esophagitis, or stricture. Many patients suffer respiratory disorders

Acid reflux, which is the entry of acidic gastric contents into the upper gastrointestinal tract, may manifest as two clinical syndromes-gastroesophageal reflux and/or laryngopharyngeal reflux. The latter syndrome, laryngopharyngeal reflux, is associated with the symptom of hoarseness. In the

OBJECTIVE We compared the effect of cereal-thickened formula or postural therapy on regurgitation and gastroesophageal reflux, weight gain, and gastric emptying in infants. METHODS We performed a prospective trial in exclusively formula-fed infants 2 to 6 mo of age presenting with regurgitation or

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a specially selected cornstarch-supplemented formula on clinical symptoms, gastric emptying and weight gain in infants with regurgitation. We performed a prospective randomised trial evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of two different

Gastroesophageal reflux is considered a risk factor for recurrent or persistent upper and lower respiratory tract conditions including asthma, chronic cough, sinusitis, laryngitis, serous otitis and paroxysmal laryngospasm. Fifty-one subjects with recurrent (more than three) episodes of upper

The effect of metoclopramide premedication on the incidence of gastric regurgitation and postoperative nausea and vomiting was studied in 101 women during gynaecological procedures performed under mask anaesthesia. All patients were premedicated orally with carmine red and temazepam. A treatment

Rapid-sequence induction of anesthesia and the application of cricoid pressure are the two most common maneuvers performed when patients requiring general anesthesia are at risk of pulmonary aspiration. However, these procedures are quite elaborate and entail risks and dangers in themselves. A new

The purpose of the study was to compare the incidence of complications (coughing, biting, retching, vomiting, excessive salivation and airway obstruction) associated with removal of the laryngeal mask airway. The laryngeal mask airway was used in 100 adults undergoing urological procedures. The

BACKGROUND The gastric accumulation of enteral formulas in tube-fed patients leads to an increased risk of vomiting and regurgitation. Gastric secretion-induced coagulation of proteins in enteral formulas might lead to gastric accumulation of solid protein particles that further increase the risk of

The clinical presentation and course of chemical pneumonitis after inhalation of gastric contents ranges from mild and self-limited to severe and life-threatening, depending on the nature of the aspirate and the underlying condition of the host. In the absence of witnessed inhalation of vomit,

Although extraesophageal gastric reflux has been implicated as a cause of many pediatric airway and respiratory diseases, its prevalence in these conditions remains unknown due to the relative lack of sensitivity and/or specificity of traditional reflux testing methods. A prospective study of 222
