Esophageal motility diagnostic technology has undergone several significant advancements in recent years. The Chicago Classification is the internationally accepted classification scheme for esophageal motility disorders using metrics from high-resolution manometry, and version 4.0 has been recently published. Functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) technology on upper endoscopy has also been developed as an important tool in understanding the pathophysiology of esophageal motility disorders and has a burgeoning role in the approach to esophageal syndromes. In this webinar we have two national experts, Dr. Joan Chen and Dr. Dustin Carlson, who will be discussing the latest advancements in esophageal manometry and FLIP endoscopic technology.

• To demonstrate the standard FLIP Panometry interpretation including typical findings to identify achalasia and normal esophageal motility
• To describe the application of Flip Panometry results to clinical management plans
• To learn about high-resolution manometry interpretation and the latest iteration of the Chicago Classification (version 4.0), highlighting major changes from version 3.0.
• To consider the application of CCv4.0 through two clinical cases.

1. Close other applications and browser tabs. This decreases the load on memory so your computer or other device can focus on streaming.
2. Use a 5 GHz frequency if your router supports it. The common 2.4 GHz frequency is used by household appliances, so is more crowded. Avoiding it is like getting into the carpool lane on a freeway: smoother sailing.
3. Use Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi if possible but GI LEAP is built with Wi-Fi in mind. 
4. Monitor your internet connection. If your ISP has promised you 5MBps and you are getting only 1MBps, it's time for a phone call to your internet provider to sort that out.
