Q

DDx - Apnea (GI)
(infants)
3

A
  1. GER has been blamed, but a true correlation has not been proven - some experts think that apnea occurs first, leading to hypoxia, relaxation of the LES, and reflux; others believe reflux may cause choking, gagging, color changes, and laryngospasm
  2. Swallowing abnormalities
  3. TE fistula (chronic history of coughing or difficulty with feeds)
