WHAT IS THE REAL IMPAIRMENT ON ESOPHAGEAL MOTILITY IN PATIENTS WITH GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE?

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2013
Context Impairment of esophageal motility is a common finding in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as reduced lower esophageal sphincter (LES) basal pressure.

Novel technique for continuous pressure monitoring of esophageal balloon in balloon tamponade device for acute variceal bleed

Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians Open, 2022
Acute variceal bleeding is a life‐threatening emergency associated with high mortality. Balloon tamponade is required for refractory bleeding to allow stabilization for definitive therapy.

Development of a compact stand-alone esophageal pressure measurement device

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2018
Mechanical ventilation requires optimal parameter setting for every single patient. For instance sufficient positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may ensure oxygenation and prevent overdistension of lungs or alveolar collapse.

Effect of straining on diaphragmatic crura with identification of the straining-crural reflex. The "reflex theory" in gastroesophageal competence

BMC Gastroenterology, 2004
Background The role of the crural diaphragm during increased intra-abdominal pressure is not exactly known. We investigated the hypothesis that the crural diaphragm undergoes reflex phasic contraction on elevation of the intra-abdominal pressure with a ...

The potential risk of ventilator-induced lung injury from five different PEEP titration techniques in ARDS

Frontiers in Medicine
IntroductionThe optimal positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains uncertain. This study compared the PEEP levels using five distinct titration methods to assess potential ventilator-induced lung injury (

Determination of the effects of cryoablation for atrial fibrillation on esophageal functions

Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, 2020
Objective: Periesophageal vagal plexus injury is a complication of cryoablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of cryoablation on esophageal functions and to determine the relationship between esophageal ...

Use of esophageal balloon manometry in the management of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2020
There is paucity of literature regarding the use of esophageal balloon manometry in the management of Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. We describe our first ever experience of successful usage of esophageal balloon pressure manometry in a ...

Ultrasound-guided esophageal compression during mask ventilation in small children: a prospective observational study

BMC Anesthesiology, 2022
Background The use of cricoid compression to prevent insufflation remains controversial, and its use in children is limited. This study aimed to examine the effect of real-time ultrasound-guided esophageal compression on the prevention of gastric ...
