Effect of Esophageal Movement on Intraluminal Esophageal Pressure Recording

open access: yesGastroenterology, 1974
In order to determine the effect of esophageal movement on tracings of intraluminal pressure, the esophageal body, lower esophageal sphincter, and diaphragmatic hiatus were labeled with metal markers in cats. Metal markers also identified the location of manometric tube recording orifices.

Comparison of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt with covered stent and balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration in managing isolated gastric varices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
OBJECTIVE: Although a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is commonly placed to manage isolated gastric varices, balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) has also been used. We compare the long-term outcomes from these

In vivo calibration of esophageal pressure in the mechanically ventilated patient makes measurements reliable

open access: yesCritical Care, 2016
BackgroundEsophageal pressure (Pes) can provide information to guide mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory failure. However, both relative changes and absolute values of Pes can be affected by inappropriate filling of the esophageal balloon and by ...

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

open access: yesBMC 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 ...

Upper esophageal sphincter pressure in patients with Chagas' disease and primary achalasia

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2000
The most important component of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) is the cricopharyngeal muscle. During the measurement of sphincter pressure the catheter passed through the sphincter affects the pressure value.

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

open access: yesRespiratory 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 ...

Esophageal Balloon-Directed Ventilator Management for Postpneumonectomy Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

open access: yesCase Reports in Critical Care, 2021
Objective. Postpneumonectomy patients may develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). There is a paucity of data regarding the optimal management of mechanical ventilation for postpneumonectomy patients. Esophageal balloon pressure monitoring has

434 ESOPHAGITIS AND LOWER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER PRESSURE IN CHILDREN [PDF]

open access: yesPediatric Research, 1978
Patients with gastroesophageal reflux (GER) frequently have a decreased lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure that increases after surgery, although variable results have been noted in children. LES pressures were measured in 80 patients > 3 months of age with symptomatic GER and in 20 control patients.
