pH Manometry

A study to define whether or not and how much a patient refluxes acid. The patient attends out patients, where a naso-gastric tube is inserted and a small, portable monitor is given to wear around the waist. They then go about their normal activity for a full 24 hours, returning the next day for the equipment to be removed and the data interpreted.

If you are at all unsure about what your operation means, please do contact Professor Bailey.
