Fundamental concepts and the latest evidence for esophageal pressure monitoring [PDF]
Transpulmonary pressure is an essential physiologic concept as it reflects the true pressure across the alveoli, and is a more precise marker for lung stress.

Understanding cardiopulmonary interactions through esophageal pressure monitoring [PDF]
Esophageal pressure is the closest estimate of pleural pressure. Changes in esophageal pressure reflect changes in intrathoracic pressure and affect transpulmonary pressure, both of which have multiple effects on right and left ventricular performance ...

Esophageal Pressure Measurement: A Primer. [PDF]
Over the last decade, the literature exploring clinical applications for esophageal manometry in critically ill patients has increased. New mechanical ventilators and bedside monitors allow measurement of esophageal pressures easily at the bedside. The bedside clinician can now evaluate the magnitude and timing of esophageal pressure swings to evaluate

Esophageal pressure as estimation of pleural pressure: a study in a model of eviscerated chest [PDF]
Background Transpulmonary pressure is the effective pressure across the lung parenchyma and has been proposed as a guide for mechanical ventilation. The pleural pressure is challenging to directly measure in clinical setting and esophageal manometry ...

Esophageal pressure monitoring for airway management during catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation [PDF]
Background: Respiratory management during catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is important for the efficacy and safety of the procedure. Obstructive apnea due to an upper airway obstruction might cause serious complications including air ...

Evaluation of esophageal contractile propagation using esophageal pressure topography [PDF]
AbstractBackground High‐resolution manometry and esophageal pressure topography have enhanced our ability to analyze esophageal motor disturbances by improving the detail and accuracy of measurements of peristaltic activity.This has been extremely helpful in the evaluation of disorders of rapid propagation as the technique is able to define important ...

Characterization of esophageal physiology using mechanical state analysis [PDF]
The esophagus functions to transport swallowed fluids and food from the pharynx to the stomach. The esophageal muscles governing bolus transport comprise circular striated muscle of the proximal esophagus and circular smooth muscle of the distal ...
