ASGE Annual Postgraduate Course Endoscopy 2022: Breakthrough to Excellence | DDW 2022-HRM, Flip, pH Monitoring: How and When to use

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Professor Michael Vasey from Vanderbilt University discusses HRM flip, pH monitoring, and how and when to use it in esophageal function testing. He explains that testing depends on whether the patient is being tested for reflux disease or abnormal transfer of food. For reflux testing, there are various tests available, including ambulatory testing, wireless testing, impedance testing, and mucosal integrity testing. These tests help determine the presence and severity of reflux, and can guide treatment decisions. For assessing transfer of food, endoscopy, manometry, and barium swallow are commonly used tests to diagnose conditions such as Barrett's esophagus and dysphagia. Professor Vasey emphasizes the importance of using a combination of tests to obtain a comprehensive evaluation of esophageal function. The video ends with a brief mention of high-resolution manometry and endoflip as additional tools for tailored treatment approaches in conditions like achalasia.
