The study's primary outcome was pulmonaryaspiration; secondary outcomes included other anesthesia-related complications.
2
According to local media, the 35-year-old woman died during the night of a suspected pulmonaryaspiration.
3
Scintigraphic studies showed strong correlations with impedance, pH and manometric abnormalities, with 10 patients showing pulmonaryaspiration.
4
Serious complications, such as pulmonaryaspiration, early postoperative bleeding or suture dehiscence were not observed in this cohort.
5
The principal measured outcomes of this protocol were frequency of abdominal distention and pulmonaryaspiration, and efficacy in supplying the desired amount of nutrients.
6
Conclusion: Scintigraphic studies appear to be a good screening test for LPR and pulmonaryaspiration as there is direct visualisation of tracer at these sites.
