摘要

Gastroesophageal reflux may exacerbate lung disease in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Anti-reflux surgery may therefore reduce the severity of this disease in some infants. We report a retrospective series of 22 infants with severe BPD who underwent anti-reflux surgery. Our experience indicates that these procedures can be safely performed in this population and that early post-operative initiation of gastric feeds is well tolerated. Modest post-operative reductions in required oxygen and median respiratory rate were observed. Pediatr Pulmonol. 2015; 50:584-587.
