OBJECTIVE: Recently, a 24-h impedance was used to detect laryngopharyngeal reflux
(LPR). However, not every case of LPR is pathological. Thus, pathological pharyngeal …

Background The detection of gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) via pH testing is the key
component of the evaluation of patients considered for antireflux surgery. Two common pH …

The utility of high-resolution impedance manometry (hrim) for evaluating oropharyngeal
dysphagia (opd) has been investigated. These approaches are limited because of the …

Background:: High-resolution impedance manometry (HRIM) allows evaluation of
esophageal bolus transit in conjunction with assessment of esophageal motor phenomena …

Diagnostic testing for GERD has evolved to include multi esophageal sites (distal, proximal
and hypopharyngeal monitoring), wireless pH, and oropharyngeal devices. The versatility of …

BACKGROUND The additional yield of esophageal impedance monitoring in identification
of reflux as the cause of reflux symptoms is unknown. OBJECTIVES To compare the yield of …

Background Multichannel intraluminal impedance combined with pH (MII‐pH) is the gold
standard test for diagnosing gastro‐esophageal reflux disease (GERD). It provides an …

The role of esophageal pH (or impedance) monitoring in diagnosing gastroesophageal
reflux disease (GERD) has evolved over the years. In the era of empiric therapy with potent …

Background 24‐hour esophageal pH‐impedance (pH‐MII) is not totally reliable for
laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). Oropharyngeal (OP) pH‐monitoring with the Dx‐pH probe …
