Spastic and hypercontractile esophageal motor disorders can cause retrosternal pain and/or dysphagia but may be missed by short‐term high resolution manometry (HRM). 24‐h‐HRM detected considerable circadian variability of esophageal contractility and markedly increased the percentage of patients diagnosed with a major motor disorder.

ABSTRACT Background & Aims The straight leg raise (SLR) is a provocative maneuver used to assess the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) barrier function during high‐resolution manometry (HRM) and is part of the Milan Score (MS). The Chicago Classification 4.0 (CCv4.0) protocol requires patients to perform a supine‐upright transition (SUT), increasing intra‐

Anesthesia can alter measurements during digestive endoscopies, yet no standardized protocol currently exists. Two expert groups—the French Neuro‐Gastroenterology Group (GFNG) and anesthesiologists—used the Delphi method to reach a consensus on which drugs have an influence (91 amendments), ultimately resulting in a proposed anesthesia protocol (28 ...
