A radioisotope scintiscanning technique that can document pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents in patients with gastroesophageal reflux is described. Six patients with suspected nocturnal aspiration from reflux were studied. Three of the six had positive lung scans 8 hr after intragastric placement of 10 mCi of technetium 99m sulfur colloid. Overnight intraesophageal pH monitoring revealed prolonged episodes of GE reflux in those with positive scans. These preliminary observations suggest that this scintigraphic technique may be an effective method for documenting pulmonary symptoms as a consequence of gastroesophageal reflux.
本文描述了一种放射性同位素闪烁扫描技术，该技术可记录胃食管反流患者胃内容物的肺吸入情况。对6例疑似夜间反流性误吸的患者进行了研究。6例患者中有3例在胃内注入10毫居里的锝99m硫胶体8小时后肺部扫描呈阳性。夜间食管pH监测显示，扫描阳性者存在长时间的胃食管反流发作。这些初步观察结果表明，这种闪烁扫描技术可能是记录胃食管反流所致肺部症状的有效方法。
