High-resolution manometry (HRM) is the primary method used to evaluate esophageal motor function. Displayed and interpreted by esophageal pressure topography (EPT), HRM/ EPT provides a detailed assessment of esophageal function that is useful in the evaluation of patients with nonobstructive dysphagia and before foregut surgery. Esophageal motility diagnoses are determined systematically by applying objective metrics of esophageal sphincter and peristaltic function to the Chicago Classification of esophageal motility disorders. This article discusses HRM study, EPT interpretation, and the translation of EPT findings into clinical practice. Examples are provided to illustrate several clinical challenges.
高分辨率测压法(HRM)是评估食管运动功能的主要方法。HRM通过食管压力地形图(EPT)进行显示和解读,可对食管功能进行详细评估,这在评估非梗阻性吞咽困难患者及前肠手术前很有用。通过将食管括约肌和蠕动功能的客观指标应用于食管动力障碍的芝加哥分类系统,系统地确定食管动力诊断。本文讨论了HRM研究、EPT解读以及将EPT结果转化为临床实践。文中提供了实例来说明一些临床挑战。
