Mechanical Ventilation Guided by Uncalibrated Esophageal Pressure May Be Potentially Harmful
Anesthesiology, 2020 Background: Esophageal balloon calibration was proposed in acute respiratory failure patients to improve esophageal pressure assessment. In a clinical setting characterized by a high variability of abdominal load and intrathoracic pressure (i.e., pelvic ...

Esophageal Pressure Versus Gas Exchange to Set PEEP During Intraoperative Ventilation
Respiratory care, 2020 BACKGROUND: Pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg position affect respiratory system mechanics and oxygenation during elective pelvic robotic surgery. The primary aim of this randomized pilot study was to compare the effects of a conventional low tidal ...

High-resolution esophageal manometry in patients with achalasia
Вестник хирургии имени И.И. Грекова, 2021 Introduction. At present, high-resolution esophageal manometry is the «gold standard» for the diagnosis of esophageal achalasia, based on the determination of the integrated relaxation pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter, the value of which in the

Peroral endoscopic myotomy can improve esophageal motility in patients with achalasia from a large sample self-control research (66 patients). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) as a new approach to achalasia attracts broad attention. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the results with esophageal motility after POEM through the first large sample clinical research.We have a self-
