Figure 1
Figure 1 Correlation between duration of NGT and mechanical ventilation standing period to the GER rate measured in 70 patients.
Figure 2
Figure 2 Variation of the median GER (%) together with 10%, 25%, 75%, and 90% from pH-metries originated from the sensor located at 20 cm proximally to the lower esophageal sphincter. The symbol in the 48-h period is lacking in patients of non-PEG-group since no pH-metry was performed in that period in this group of patients.
