Abstract
Manometric recording from the pyloric channel is challenging and is usually performed with a sleeve device. Recently, a solid-state manometry system was developed, which incorporates 36 circumferential pressure sensors spaced at 1-cm intervals. Our aim was to use this system to determine whether it provided useful manometric measurements of the pyloric region. We recruited 10 healthy subjects (7 males:3 females). The catheter (ManoScan(360)) was introduced transnasally and, in the final position, 15-20 sensors were in the stomach and the remainder distributed across the pylorus and duodenum. Patients were recorded fasting and then given a meal and recorded postprandially. Using pressure data and isocontour plots, the pylorus was identified in all subjects. Mean pyloric width was 2.1 +/- 0.1 cm (95% CI: 1.40-2.40). Basal pyloric pressure during phase I was 9.4 +/- 1.1 mmHg, while basal antral pressure was significantly lower (P = 0.003; 95% CI: 2.4-8.4). Pyloric pressure was always elevated relative to antral pressure in phase I. For phases II and III, pyloric pressure was 7.7 +/- 2.3 mmHg and 9.4 +/- 1.1 mmHg, respectively. Pyloric pressure increased similarly after both the liquid and solid meal. In addition, isolated pressure events and waves, which involve the pylorus, were readily identified.Keywords
