PODCAST: Gastroesophegeal Reflux and Gastritis

פוסט זה זמין גם ב: עברית

In this episode of PEM Currents: The Pediatric Emergency Medicine Podcast, I explore the complexities of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and gastritis in children and adolescents. I’ll make the important distinction between gastritis – which is diagnosed only via endoscopy – and dyspepsia, the term best used to describe the symptoms many patients experience. I’ll dive into the latest clinical practice guidelines and discuss evidence-based approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

Topics covered include:

  • The pathophysiology of GER and GERD in the pediatric population.
  • Understanding dyspepsia and its clinical presentation.
  • Diagnostic strategies and when to consider further evaluation.
  • The role of lifestyle and dietary modifications in management.
  • Pharmacological interventions, including the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), H2 blockers, and antacids.
  • Current controversies and updates in pharmacological treatments.
  • Management of gastritis and the consideration of Helicobacter pylori infection.

Join me as I scope out the nuances of gastroesophageal reflux and gastritis and provide practical insights for clinicians in the emergency setting.
