摘要
背景:胃食管反流病(GERD)在新生儿中很常见,特别是那些需要机械通气的新生儿。胃蛋白酶是一种可靠的胃误吸标志物,可能有助于检测通气新生儿的GER发作并评估相关的临床结果。目的:通过检测气管内吸入物(ETA)中的胃蛋白酶,确定足月机械通气新生儿胃食管反流的发生率、相关危险因素和发病率。方法:本研究纳入了2023年4月至2024年3月在开罗大学医院新生儿重症监护病房住院的97例足月新生儿。ETA样本在三个时间间隔采集:插管后立即(样本A)、插管后48小时(样本B)和拔管前(样本C)。采用酶联免疫吸附法测定胃蛋白酶浓度。临床数据,包括住院时间和喂养参数,与胃蛋白酶水平相关。结果:A、B、c分别有76例(78.4%)、78例(81.3%)和47例(68.1%)检出胃蛋白酶。B、B、c中胃蛋白酶水平与FiO2呈显著正相关(r = 0.203, P = 0.047)。延长住院时间也与B、C样品胃蛋白酶检测相关(P < 0.05)。饲食量与胃蛋白酶水平呈显著负相关(P < 0.05)。结论:足月机械通气新生儿胃食管反流发生率高,与胃酶水平、FiO2、喂养不耐受、住院时间有关,早期发现的重要性突出。
Incidence of gastro-esophageal reflux disease in mechanically ventilated full-term Egyptian neonates by detection of pepsin in endotracheal aspirate.
Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is common among neonates, particularly those requiring mechanical ventilation. Pepsin, a reliable marker of gastric aspiration, may help detect GER episodes in ventilated neonates and assess associated clinical outcomes.
Aim: To determine the incidence of GERD, associated risk factors, and morbidities among full-term mechanically ventilated neonates by detecting pepsin in endotracheal aspirates (ETA).
Methods: This study included 97 full-term neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at Cairo University Hospitals from April 2023 to March 2024. ETA samples were collected at three intervals: Immediately post-intubation (Sample A), 48 hours after intubation (Sample B), and just before extubation (Sample C). Pepsin concentration was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Clinical data, including hospital stay duration and feeding parameters, were correlated with pepsin levels.
Results: Pepsin was detected in 76 (78.4%) of Sample A, 78 (81.3%) of Sample B, and 47 (68.1%) of Sample C. A significant positive correlation was found between pepsin levels and FiO2 in Sample B (r = 0.203, P = 0.047). Prolonged hospital stay was also associated with pepsin detection in Samples B and C (P < 0.05). A negative correlation was observed between feeding amount and pepsin levels across all samples (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The incidence of GERD in full-term mechanically ventilated neonates is high, correlating with pepsin levels, FiO2, feeding intolerance, and hospital stay, highlighting the importance of early detection.
