ASGE Esophagology: Tailoring Management from Testing to Treatment (Live and Virtual) | July 2022-Esophagology Virtual Demonstration 6 - Endo Flip

Esophagology Virtual Demonstration 6 - Endo Flip - Bravo

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video features John Panolfino, the Chief of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Northwestern University, and Shifa Omar, an Advanced Endoscopy Fellow at the University of Chicago. They discuss endoflip and wireless pH monitoring using the Bravo system. Both technologies have a similar delivery and placement process. The Bravo wireless capsule is protected under a hood that bends to slide it down the throat and into the esophagus. Lubrication should be applied sparingly. The endoflip is easier to place and is very flexible and pliable. Both devices are used to monitor conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease and achalasia. The endoflip measures impedance and identifies patterns of contractility, while the Bravo system measures pH levels over a four-hour period. The video emphasizes the importance of proper placement and monitoring to ensure accurate results.
