摘要
Gastroesophageal reflux and apnea of prematurity are both common occurences in premature infants. However, a casual relationship between the two remains controversial. Strong physiologic evidence indicates that a variety of protective reflex responses may elicit laryngeal adduction and apnea. Although a potential link between gastroesophageal reflux and apnea may exist through this pathway, clinical studies can be cited to either support or refute such a link in premature infants. The majority of gastroesophageal reflux episodes do not appear to be related to apnea. In a specific subset of events, a casual relationship may exist. Whether this is related to the character of the reflux episode or to a pre-disposition in a subpopulation of infants is nuclear. This review presents the evidence for and againts an association between gastroesophageal reflux and apnea, discusses techniques used in their evaluation, and identifies approaches for future investigation.
