Abstract

Gastroesophageal reflux refers to the reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus in an otherwise healthy infant. Gastroesophageal reflux is a commonly diagnosed problem in critically ill infants in the neonatal intensive care unit which may progress to gastroesophageal reflux disease. Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a more serious condition characterized by chronic symptoms of mucosal damage. The causes and risk factors for developing gastroesophageal reflux disease and its associated complications are identified. The range of diagnostic investigations and the efficacy and safety of current treatments that may be undertaken in the critically ill infant are also discussed in this chapter.
