Sa1270 A NEWLY DEVELOPED DIAGNOSTIC TOOL FOR GERD AND NERD: ENDOSCOPIC PRESSURE STUDY INTEGRATED SYSTEM (EPSIS)
Endoscopic pressure study integrated system (EPSIS) is a prototypic diagnostic system that allows continuous monitoring of changes in intragastric pressure (IGP) arising from gastric distention and cardia opening during gastroscopy. The ability of the cardia and lower esophageal sphincter to “contain” gastric content thus preventing reflux, can be assessed endoscopically by applying this newly-developed diagnostic tool.
