Video Tip: Esophageal Impedance Testing | April 2023-Esophageal Impedance Testing

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, sponsored by Braintree, a part of Cibela Pharmaceuticals, the speaker discusses impedance testing for determining the presence of belching or acid reflux. Liquid bolus passing through leads to a reduction in impedance, while gas bolus passing through causes an increase in impedance. Retrograde movement of liquid indicates acid reflux, while retrograde movement of gas is belching. The video demonstrates an impedance test of an acid reflux episode, a non-acid reflux episode, and a gas reflux episode, showing how the impedance levels change in each situation. The video concludes with a thank-you message.
