Description:
Esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) is the current state-of-the-art diagnostic tool to evaluate esophageal motility patterns. HRM measures intraluminal pressure activity in the gastrointestinal tract using a series of closely spaced pressure sensors. In this webinar, we will discuss how the procedure is performed, which patient population would benefit from this procedure, how to interpret the results and lastly, the clinical applicability of the test results.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this educational activity, the participant will be able to:
-
Define High-Resolution Manometry (HRM)
-
List the indications for the procedure
-
Identify normal and abnormal findings
