Endoscopy Live: GERD & Barrett's Esophagus: The Journey Continues (On-Demand)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a gastroenterologist named John presents a case study of a 58-year-old woman with symptoms of Globus. He discusses the process of analyzing manometry and pH impedance studies to diagnose and interpret motility disorders of the esophagus. John explains the key elements to look for, such as the integrated relaxation pressure (IRP) and distal contractile integral, and their significance in determining normal or abnormal motility patterns. He also highlights the importance of impedance studies in assessing fluid flow and reflux events. John presents additional case studies, including a patient with a hiatal hernia and GERD, a patient with achalasia type 2, and a patient with hypercontractile esophagus. He discusses the interpretation and management of each case, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis for appropriate treatment. The video provides valuable insights into the assessment and interpretation of manometry and pH impedance studies in evaluating esophageal motility disorders. No credits were mentioned or provided in the video.
