ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Ambulatory reflux monitoring can be performed with either a telemetry capsule to monitor for esophageal acid exposure alone for a period of 48-96 hours, and a 24 hour catheter based impedance/pH study which is most valuable for evaluating patients with objective evidence of GERD who are incompletely relieved with proton pump inhibitors. Some would consider catheter-based impedance/pH as the "best" test to evaluate patients with extraesophageal symptoms including suspected pulmonary complications of GERD. This editorial provides comment on the use of novel advanced metrics, mean nocturnal baseline impedance and post-reflux induced-swallow peristaltic wave index in analysis of these studies.
