Target Audience

Physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other eligible health care professionals charged with reading and interpreting esophageal motility (manometry and impedance / manometry) and reflux (acid (pH) and impedance/pH) testing.

Goal

This new one and half day seminar is design to expand the attendee's understanding of the normal and abnormal diagnostic test. Reading and interpretation strategies utilize lecture and review of actual tracings. High Resolution Impedance Manometry (including a discussion of Chicago Classifications), acid (pH) procedures are used to develop an understanding of the clinical manifestations of the abnormalities of the esophagus.

Course Highlights

• Introductory lecture reviewing the basics of the anatomy and physiology of the esophagus
• Utilizing ClouseVIEW for analyzing and interpreting both normal and abnormal High Resolution Impedance Manometry studies
• Understand how to read and interpret normal and abnormal High Resolution Impedance Manometry studies
• Manometric and impedance interpretation overview reviews actual tracings by Dr. Castell. Utilization of numerous examples help the user understand the hiatal hernia patient, those with achalasia, distal esophageal spasm, ineffective esophageal motility and other abnormalities seen by the practicing physician
• Reflux testing is dedicated to discussing the acid (pH) and impedance/pH studies and the interpretation of these studies
