ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of aerophagia in children,and to evaluate the effect of 24 hours esophageal multichannel intraluminal impedance monitoring in diagnosis of aerophagia.Methods The clinical data of 30 children with aerophagia hospitalized in Department of Digestive Disease,Nanjing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from July 2005 to June 2013 were reviewed.The 24 hours esophageal multichannel intraluminal impedance monitoring was performed in 8 cases of aerophagia.The treatment of these patients normally included psychological counseling,dietary adjustment,Iactulose,Domperidone and vitamins,while Simethicone was given to the patients if normal treatment was invalid.Results Of the 30 patients,aged 2 to 13 years,averaged (8.6 ± 4.5) years,the chief complaints were abdominal distention in 30 cases (100.00%),visible or audible air swallowing in 28 cases (93.33%),repetitive belching in 27 cases (90.00%),reduced appetite in 25 cases (83.33%),constipation in 22 cases (73.33%),psychological stresses in 15 cases (50.00%),recurrent abdominal pain syndrome in 10 cases(33.33%),chronic diarrhea in 3 cases(10.00%) and acute abdominal pain in 3 cases(10.00%).Among the 30 patients,24 hours esophageal multichannel intraluminal impedance monitoring was performed in 8 cases,averaging 149.63 (47-553)times of air swallowing were recorded.In the 30 patients,24 cases (80.00%) were relieved after being treated with psychological counseling,dietary adjustment,lactulose,domperidone and vitamins,and only 6 cases(20.00%) were invalid for normal treatment but well responeded to Simethicone.Conclusions Aerophagia is a kind of functional gastrointestinal disorders in children.Abdominal distention,air swallowing,repetitive belching,reduced appetite,constipation and pain are common symptoms.It can be cured through psychological counseling management,diet modification,laxatives,propulsives and vitamins.24 hours esophageal multichannel intraluminal impedance monitoring is a useful technology in the diagnosis of aerophagia children.
