Ambulatory Esophageal pH Monitoring

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2014
The development and advancement of ambulatory esophageal pH monitoring has provided a key tool with which pathologic esophageal acid exposure can be objectively measured; although not perfect, it provides the clinician with arguably the most important piece of information in the diagnosis and management of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Will Esophageal Impedance Replace pH Monitoring?

Pediatrics, 2007
Esophageal impedance, a technique based on the fact that the passage of a bolus changes the impedance between esophageal segments, is being used more and more. Multiple esophageal impedance combined with pH monitoring is advocated to become the preferred technique to measure acid and nonacid gastroesophageal reflux.

Ambulatory Esophageal pH Monitoring

The American Journal of Medicine, 1997
Extraesophageal manifestations of gastroesophageal reflux may be best diagnosed using ambulatory esophageal pH monitoring. This test involves the placemenmt of a thin pH probe in the esophagus, which is connected to a small box on a waistbelt. Studies are done in an ambulatory state in the patient's home and work environment.

Wireless Esophageal pH Monitoring in Children

Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques, 2008
A wireless BRAVO (Medtronic, Shoreview, MN) capsule for pH measurement in the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is intended to be less uncomfortable, and facilitates activity during the measuring period, compared to the usual method with a naso-esophageal catheter.

Simultaneous Laryngopharyngeal and Conventional Esophageal pH Monitoring

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2020
In addition to typical reflux symptoms, many patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) present with extraesophageal symptoms such as cough, hoarseness or asthma, which can be caused by laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). Due to their multifactorial origin, those symptoms can be a great diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.

Esophageal pH Monitoring, Indications, and Methods

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2002
Symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common problem that affects a substantial proportion of the American population. It is estimated that the symptoms of GERD may afflict 40% to 45% of Americans each month. The diagnosis of GERD can be difficult, as its symptoms vary from typical symptoms like heartburn to atypical symptoms such as ...

Wireless Esophageal pH Monitoring

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2006
The introduction of wireless pH monitoring has been touted as a significant advance in the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux and associated disorders. We prospectively enrolled patients in a research registry to assess the feasibility and safety in clinical use.All patients undergoing endoscopy with wireless pH studies (Medtronic Bravo pH system ...

Measurement of gastric pH in ambulatory esophageal pH monitoring

Surgical Endoscopy, 2008
Ambulatory esophageal pH monitoring is the method used most widely to quantify gastroesophageal reflux. The degree of gastroesophageal reflux may potentially be underestimated if the resting gastric pH is high. Normal subjects and symptomatic patients undergoing 24-h pH monitoring were studied to determine whether a relationship exists between resting ...

Continuous esophageal pH monitoring during laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Surgical Endoscopy, 1994
Gastro-esophageal regurgitation (GER) and eventual aspiration is considered a major risk during general anesthesia. High intraperitoneal pressure produced during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a possible source of increased GER. We investigated the incidence of GER using continuous esophageal pH monitoring in 14 patients undergoing elective LC ...

Esophageal pH and Impedance Monitoring

2012
pH monitoring and multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) are two catheter-based methods for measuring reflux. pH monitoring has been the gold standard test for measuring acid reflux and forms the basis for many therapeutic trials. Its primary limitations are that (1) it only can measure acid reflux yet misses non-acid reflux, (2) it cannot ...
