ESOPHAGEAL MANOMETRY STUDY. Your physician has ordered this test for you which involves measuring the pressure and muscle action of the upper GI tract. A small, flexible tube is inserted into your nose and down into your esophagus. This is done without sedation, and is done very gently. The catheter is connected to a very complex machine.

Your doctor has scheduled you for an Esophageal Motility (Manometry) study and/or 24-hour Ambulatory PH study. These simple tests are designed to (1) Evaluate the function of the esophagus, the muscular tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach, and (2) Measure the amount of acid that refluxes from your stomach into your esophagus ...

Esophageal manometry -- This test measures the pressures within the esophagus, especially the LES pressure. Complications of Reflux In some people, acid in the lower esophagus actually causes tissue damage. Certain complications can then result: Chronic bleeding and anemia. Scar formation and narrowing of the lower esophagus. This is called a ...

Esophageal manometry – measures the function of the LES and esophageal peristalsis. Also a good test for dysmotility disorders. 24-esophageal pH monitoring – gold standard. By measuring the pH, GERD can be quantified. Indications are persistent symptoms while of GI therapy, recurrence of symptoms after discontinuation of acid-reducing ...

Esophageal . Manometry. A nasogastric tube equipped with an esophageal balloon was used for this study (Avea GS smarthCath; Carefusion, Yorba Linda, CA). Correct positioning of the esophageal catheter was ensured with an occlusion test(3). After inflating the catheter according to manufacturer recommendations, during a prolonged expiratory hold ...
Esophageal Manometry Test: Uses, Side Effects, Procedure, Results
Esophageal manometry is a test used to measure the function of the lower esophageal sphincter (the valve that prevents reflux of gastric acid into the esophagus) and the muscles of the esophagus. This test will tell your doctor if your esophagus is able to move food to your stomach normally. The manometry test is commonly given to people who have:

Esophageal manometry is performed as an outpatient procedure, and with a local anesthetic take about 45 minutes—with only about 15 minutes of that spent with the tube in the throat for the procedure. The only special preparation is not drinking or eating for several hours before the test, says Wendy Wyant, RN, of Augusta Health.

Manometry is a procedure, which records the pressure within an organ. Esophageal manometry measures the pressure of the esophagus and the lower esophageal sphincter. This procedure can evaluate the peristaltic waves that push food down the esophagus into the stomach as well as the lower esophageal sphincter.

Another test that may be employed is the barium esophagogram. It is indicated in patients with dysphagia. This test will identify a stricture and diagnose a hiatal hernia. Esophageal manometry evaluates the function of the LES and looks at how effective peristalsis is in the esophagus. It is used to place the probe for 24-hour pH monitoring.
