Abstract
High resolution esophageal manometry (HRM) is currently under development as can be seen in the various Chicago classifications. In order to standardize criteria in certain practical aspects with limited scientific evidence, the First National Meeting for Consensus in High Resolution Manometry of the Spanish Digestive Motility Group took place, bringing together a wide group of experts. The proposals were based on a prior survey composed of 47 questions, an exhaustive review of the available literature and the experience of the participants. Methodological aspects relating to the poorly defined analysis criteria of certain new high resolution parameters were discussed, as well as other issues previously overlooked such as spontaneous activity or secondary waves. Final conclusions were drawn with practical applications. Key words: High resolution esophageal manometry. Consensus meeting. Spanish Digestive Motility Group.
INTRODUCTION Since esophageal manometry was introduced into clinical practice in the mid-70s, technical and methodological changes have taken place that require standardization and a common set of reference values and [...]
