 Expected Learning Outcomes:

After completion of the course attendees will understand:

  • The historical development and theoretical background of high resolution manometry (HRM)
  • Standard Operating Procedures for performance of an investigation and internationally accepted parameters for standardized analysis
  • Why, when and how to apply adjunctive tests such as rapid drink challenge, solid swallows and pharmacological challenges to gain relevant clinical information
  • The significance of HRM in reflux disease, particularly if combined with impedance
  • The additional impact of other tests for reflux-monitoring

Attendees will be able to:

  • Use software tools for analysis of routine and extended HRM

Attendees will have amplified their understanding of

  • Adequate performance and analysis of diagnostic measures in complex patients with dysphagia
  • Adequate performance and analysis of diagnostic measures in complex patients with reflux symptoms
