摘要: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect two body positions (supine and semirecumbency) on dynamics gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in 15 patients requiring mechanical ventilation having a nasogastric tube place. Samples gastric contents, pharyngeal bronchial secretions, blood were obtained at baseline every hour during period 5 h after isotopic instillation 37 megabecquerels Tc99m. Radioactivity counting (RAc) performed using gamma counter with correction for decay. Irrespective position, all showed 3, 4, isotope significant increase RAc oropharyngeal contents (p < 0.05, each), indicating GER. Although values pharynx higher supine from 1 through 4 0.05), end (5 h) did not differ between each position. Likewise, slopes regression lines sequential different e...
