Value of measuring esophageal pressure to evaluate heart-lung interactions-applications for invasive hemodynamic monitoring. [PDF]
Evaluation of intrathoracic pressure is the cornerstone of the understanding of heart-lung interactions, but is not easily feasible at the bedside. Esophageal pressure (Pes) has been shown to be a good surrogate for intrathoracic pressure and can be more

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 ...

Novel method of transpulmonary pressure measurement with an air-filled esophageal catheter
Background There is a strong rationale for proposing transpulmonary pressure-guided protective ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome. The reference esophageal balloon catheter method requires complex in vivo calibration, expertise and ...
