High resolution manometry in esophageal disorders

Esophageal manometry is one of the main axes in diagnostic armamentarium that deals with esophageal motility disorders, next to endoscopic and radiological methods. Traditional, conventional manometry, has greatly been replaced by a modern technique, high resolution which enables not only better spatiotemporal signal compatibility, but also shortens time procedure extremely important for patients undergoing it. Two catheters are being used, solid state water perfused. Both record pressures within lumen both sphincters. Contemporary technology enabled incorporation impedance sensors into catheter. Impedance based on resistance changes liquid or food boluses.These help bolus transit evaluation, reducing need ionization procedures. Each examined (liquid solid) evaluated according Chicago classification criteria parameters these criteria. According third version Classification, functional disorders divided EGJ outflow obstruction major peristaltic minor disorders. Introduction this methodology, continuous update classification, timely diagnosis further treatment all more frequently diagnosed
