[Esophagogastroimpedancemanometry in diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux in patients with chemical burns of the stomach].
Esophagogastroimpedancemanometry conducted in 40 patients with chemical bums of the stomach (CBS) in acute and early postburn periods has revealed that CBS affect motor function of the cardia in 95% patients. This motor cardial dysfunction results in erosive and erosive-ulcerous reflux-esophagitis in 22.5% patients. Motor dysfunction of the cardia and esophagitis depends both on CBS severity and time since the trauma. Gastroesophageal reflux in CBS patients is triggered by intragastric hypertension accompanied with lowering of the esophageal-gastric pressure gradient provoking motor dysfunction of the esophagus and reduction of the esophageal clearance.
