Clinical 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...
متن کاملWater-perfused esophageal high-resolution manometry: normal values and validation.
Water-perfused high-resolution manometry (HRM) catheters with 36 unidirectional pressure channels have recently been developed, but normal values are not yet available. Furthermore, the technique has not been validated and compared with solid-state HRM. We therefore aimed to develop normal values for water-perfused HRM and to assess the level of agreement between water-perfused HRM and solid-st...
متن کاملHow to Perform and Interpret High-resolution Esophageal Manometry
......................................... Received: 03-07-14 Accepted: 02-02-15 Abstract The introduction of high-resolution esophageal manometry allowed physicians to identify both previously unidentified normal esophageal functions and patterns and various abnormalities. The creation of new charts of pressure patterns and the topography of esophageal pressure has led to the development of new...
متن کاملHow to Effectively Use High-Resolution Esophageal Manometry.
Esophageal manometry is the definitive test to evaluate esophageal motility and is indicated in the diagnostic evaluation of patients with nonobstructive dysphagia. Esophageal manometry is also indicated in the preoperative evaluation of patients obtaining a high-quality HRM study. Decisions toward or away from foregut surgery (Heller myotomy, Nissen fundoplication), which can be associated wit...
متن کاملEsophageal Disorders Not Yet Addressed by High-resolution Manometry
TO THE EDITOR: We greatly appreciate the insight provided by Wang et al 1 regarding their recent review of the esophageal disorders not assessed by the Chicago classification of motility disorders of the esophagus. This is an important issue as many people still fail to understand that the Chicago classification was designed to describe and categorize distal esophageal motor disorders focused o...
