Comparative study of two modes of gastroesophageal reflux measuring: conventional esophageal pH monitoring and wireless pH monitoring.

CONTEXT Esophageal pH monitoring is considered to be the gold standard for the diagnosis of gastroesophageal acid reflux. However, this method is very troublesome and considerably limits the patient's routine activities. Wireless pH monitoring was developed to avoid these restrictions. OBJECTIVE To compare the first 24 hours of the conventional and wireless pH monitoring, positioned 3 cm abov...

Evaluation of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Using the Bravo Capsule pH System.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a disease predominantly seen in the West but there is a rising trend in Asia. Ambulatory 24-hour catheter-based pH monitoring has been the de facto gold standard test for GERD that correlates symptoms with acid reflux episodes. However, drawbacks such as patients' discomfort, and catheter displacement render the test as cumbersome and error-prone. The B...

Capsule pH monitoring: is wireless more?

S ince its introduction in 1974, ambulatory oesophageal pH monitoring has secured a valuable but complementary role in the diagnosis of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. Monitoring of oesophageal pH allows not only the detection of excessive levels of acid exposure but also, and more importantly, assessment of the relationship between acid reflux and symptoms. It is especially useful for clari...

OESOPHAGUS Acid reflux event detection using the Bravo wireless versus the Slimline catheter pH systems: why are the numbers so different?

Objective: This study analysed the relative accuracy of the Bravo wireless and the Slimline catheter-Mark III Digitrapper pH systems in the detection of acid reflux events. Methods: Twenty five asymptomatic subjects were studied. A Bravo capsule was placed 6 cm above the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ), marked by an endoclip, and a Slimline pH catheter was placed 5 cm above the manometrically loc...
