Esophageal and Gastric Diseases Ambulatory 24 - hour Esophageal pH Monitoring
The incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is increasing and if left untreated can lead to significant patient morbidity and even death. The disease results from the abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the distal esophagus causing symptoms in most and subsequent mucosal damage in some. Several investigations can be used to confirm the diagnosis, but most are dependent on the p...
متن کاملAmbulatory esophageal pH monitoring: new directions.
pH testing remains a commonly used evaluative tool in clinical practice. However, the original tool that included a nasally placed pH catheter was plagued with a variety of shortcomings, primarily the effect of the procedure on patients' lifestyle and thus on reflux-provoking activities. The miniaturization of evaluative techniques in gastroenterology was the impetus for the development of the ...
متن کاملHow to Interpret Ambulatory 24 hr Esophageal pH Monitoring
Newer developing techniques for esophageal functional testing such as wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are currently available. However, ambulatory 24 hr esophageal pH monitoring is still widely used and provides quantitative data on esophageal acid exposure and the ability to correlate symptoms with acid exposure events. To properly analyze the result of pH monit...
متن کاملWireless Ambulatory Esophageal pH Monitoring in Dogs with Clinical Signs Interpreted as Gastroesophageal Reflux
BACKGROUND Although gastroesophageal reflux (GER) often is assumed to be causative for upper gastrointestinal and respiratory signs in dogs, no attempts have been made to verify this assumption. OBJECTIVES To monitor esophageal pH with the Bravo pH system in healthy dogs and client-owned dogs displaying signs commonly attributed to GER. ANIMALS Seven healthy and 22 client-owned dogs. METH...
متن کاملClinical Applications of Esophageal Impedance Monitoring and High-Resolution Manometry
Esophageal impedance monitoring and high-resolution manometry (HRM) are useful tools in the diagnostic work-up of patients with upper gastrointestinal complaints. Impedance monitoring increases the diagnostic yield for gastroesophageal reflux disease in adults and children and has become the gold standard in the diagnostic work-up of reflux symptoms. Its role in the work-up for belching disorde...
