Components of the standard oesophageal manometry.
This document originates from several working groups attempting to standardize the performance and interpretation of oesophageal manometry. The authors present an interpretation of the consensus that articulates the established clinical roles for oesophageal manometry and describes the technical components of a basic, standard oesophageal motility examination. Members of the working groups all ...
متن کاملOesophageal acidification does not increase lower oesophageal sphincter pressure.
We studied the effect of distal oesophageal acidification on lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) pressure in normal human volunteers and in cats. The distal oesophagus was acidified by intraluminal injection of 0.1N HCl (pH 1.2). The LOS pressure was recorded by a sleeve device while pharyngeal and oesophageal pressures were monitored by nonperfused, water filled catheters. In normal human subjec...
متن کاملOesophageal high-resolution manometry: moving from research into clinical practice.
Manometry measures pressure within the oesophageal lumen and sphincters, and provides an assessment of the neuromuscular activity that dictates function in health and disease. It is performed to investigate the cause of functional dysphagia, unexplained "non-cardiac" chest pain, and in the pre-operative work-up of patients referred for anti-reflux surgery. Manometric techniques have improved in...
متن کاملAudit of the role of oesophageal manometry in clinical practice.
This oesophageal laboratory serves a population of 1.5 million. The study aimed to review referral patterns and assess the cost effectiveness of oesophageal manometry in clinical practice. All 276 consecutive manometry studies performed between 1988 and 1991 were reviewed. Reasons for referral in the 268 first referrals were: dysphagia 50.4%, non-cardiac chest pain 23.1%, gastro-oesophageal ref...
متن کاملDiffuse oesophageal spasm: diagnosis by ambulatory 24 hour manometry.
BACKGROUND Diffuse oesophageal spasm (DOS) is a potential cause of intermittent chest pain and/or dysphagia. In the past, the diagnosis of DOS has relied on criteria obtained from standard oesophageal manometry (more than one simultaneous contraction in a series of 10 wet swallows with the rest being peristaltic). As symptoms are intermittent, however, 24 hour manometry may well be more suited ...
