Relationship between apnea and GER: what nurses need to know.
Apnea and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) are both common occurrences in newborns and infants as well as in older children. There is a strong relationship between them. The correlation between GER as a cause of apnea has become increasingly clear over time. The extent to which they occur is an important subject for nurses in terms of recognition and intervention.
