Zusammenfassung

Die vorliegenden Empfehlungen für Indikationen, Durchführung und Interpretation der ösophagealen Refluxdiagnostik stellen eine Aktualisierung der Empfehlungen zur 24 h-pH-Metrie beim Erwachsenen von 2003 dar unter Berücksichtigung der aktuellen Publikationen sowie der neuen Techniken (kabellose) pH-Messung, Impedanz-Messung und Bilirubin-Messung (Bestimmung eines duodenogastroösophagealen Refluxes).

Abstract

The current recommendations on indications, technical performance, and interpretation of diagnostic techniques for oesophageal reflux update the German recommandations about 24 hour pH measurement of 2003. The recommendations encompass conventional pH measurement, wireless pH measurement, pH and impedance measurements, and bilirubin measurement (duodenogastro-oesophageal reflux).
