Acute variceal bleeding is a life-threatening emergency associated with high mortality. Balloon tamponade is required for refractory bleeding to allow stabilization for definitive therapy. Unfortunately, these devices are associated with iatrogenic complications such as esophageal necrosis and perforation. It is imperative to accurately measure the esophageal balloon pressure to limit these complications. We describe a novel technique for both initial and continuous pressure monitoring of the esophageal balloon.
急性静脉曲张出血是一种危及生命的紧急情况,死亡率很高。难治性出血需要进行气囊压迫以实现稳定,以便进行确定性治疗。不幸的是,这些装置会引发诸如食管坏死和穿孔等医源性并发症。准确测量食管气囊压力以限制这些并发症至关重要。我们描述了一种用于食管气囊初始和持续压力监测的新技术。
