How Does HRM Work?
The combination of two fundamental developments revolution­ized the diagnostic evaluation of esophageal motor function. The rst one was the ability to measure pressures from the pharynx to the stomach simultaneously with a newly designed catheter. This was feasible due to the incorporation of multiple closely spaced pressure sensors within the catheter. Specically, the catheter is a solid-state catheter 4mm in diameter that contains 36 circumfer­ential sensors, spaced 1cm apart, covering a length of 35cm. This enables simultaneous recording from all segments (UES to LES), without the need to reposition the catheter during the study (Fig.11.1). This makes the procedure faster and more tolerable for patients.
Sensors are spaced at 1-cm intervals from center to center. This gives the catheter a recording segment of 35cm. Each individual sensor (magnied at center) detects pressure from 12 loci (arrow) around its circumference. Computer processing of the signals coming from pressure sensing elements allows average

circumferential pressures over the entire 35-cm recording seg­ment to be displayed in real time and recorded for subsequent analysis.
The second development was the computer software that allowed the conversion of the data acquired by HRM into a topographic (color contour) plot. The software analyzes the manometric pressures and provides color contours to illustrate the intraluminal pressures. Time and pressure contour lines are applied to the tracings with isobaric pressure lines at 5-mmHg intervals. Colors are assigned to pressures; there­fore, cooler colors represent lower pressures, and warmer col­ors represent higher pressures [3]. The contour mode display is 2-dimensional in which the distance from the nose is on the y-axis, time is on the x-axis, and the pressure is presented by color (z-axis). (Fig.11.2).

How toPerform High-Resolution Esophageal Manometry?
The adequate diagnosis of esophageal motility disorders requires high-quality HRM studies. Understandably, the motility labora­tory requires not only dedicated personnel (physicians, nurses, or technicians) but also adequate HRM equipment (catheters, acqui­sition software, and analysis software) [7]. Today, there are sev­eral companies in the market that offer HRM equipment. Yet, it is worth mentioning that the ManoScan™ ESO catheter (Medtronic Plc, Dublin, Ireland) was the catheter used for all the research studies performed for the development of the Chicago Classication. For that reason, if manometry is performed with a catheter other than the ManoScan™, the interpretation of the study should be based on normal values generated for those HRM systems [8].
Before performing the study, patients should be instructed to fast for at least 6h for solids and 2h for liquids prior to the proce­dure. In patients with obstructive symptoms and suspected acha­lasia, fasting times should be extended as per laboratory policies. Medications that affect esophageal motility should also be stopped for at least 3days in preparation for the study. Some of these med­ications include calcium channel blockers, nitrates, prokinetics, loperamide, β-blockers, opioids, and anticholinergic agents. Patients should be given a detailed explanation of the procedure and informed consent should be obtained.
The motility catheter with 36 circumferential sensors is inserted transnasally after the application of topical anesthesia. The catheter is positioned so that at least two distal sensors are in the stomach and two proximal sensors are located above the UES. A 5-min acclimation period should be provided to the patient before starting the study. As an alternative for patients with known strictures or large hiatal hernias, the catheter can be placed endo­scopically after routine calibration. The laboratory technician can perform the study after the patient recovers from anesthesia. The correct catheter placement is of key importance for the perfor­mance of a high-quality study and can be conrmed by identify-

ing the pressure inversion point (PIP; negative intrathoracic pressure associated with inspiration inverts to positive intraab­dominal pressure) by asking the patient to take several deep breaths. After the correct placement of the catheter is conrmed and the patient is acclimated to the catheter, the study begins. Figure11.3 demonstrates the HRM of the esophagus at rest and the software tool that aids in identifying the diaphragm (PIP). It is important to mention that the PIP is not present in studies in which the catheter does not cross the EGJ and indicates a technically inadequate study.
The standard protocol that was used for the development of the Chicago Classication entails a 30-s swallow-free recording to obtain the resting pressures of the UES and EGJ (esophagogastric junction). This period is followed by 10 consecutive swallows of a 5-ml bolus in the supine position for patients without prior sur­gery affecting the esophagus or the EGJ [6]. Patients should be instructed to swallow only once per wet swallow, and swallows should be about 20–30s apart. This allows for the LES pressure to return to its resting state and to prevent the deglutitive inhibi­tion from hindering the motility of the esophagus. Figure 11.4 demonstrates a swallow.
The HRM can also be performed in the upright position; how­ever, it should be recognized that pressures are lower in the upright position compared to supine and normal values are available for both situations [9]. Additionally, several motility experts have described the use of apple sauce, solid boluses, or multiple water swallows to challenge the esophagus and uncover motility disor­ders that otherwise would not be uncovered by the swallows of 5ml of water [3].

How Is theStudy Interpreted?
The manometry software provides an automated computer­generated analysis of the study; however, the computerized analy­sis is imperfect and unable to recognize areas where artifact could be distinguished from true peristaltic contractions. For that rea­son, an experienced clinician must review each swallow and

provide a nal interpretation since an inadequate diagnosis can adversely affect patient outcomes.
There are three main steps that make up the diagnostic algo­rithm of an esophageal HRM study:
Step 1: Assess theEGJ Anatomy andFunction
• Main EGJ metrics (EGJ morphology, LES pressure, separation
from the crural diaphragm and the LES)
This is a decisive step because disorders are separated at this point, determined by those with or without outow obstruction at the EGJ.This portion begins with the evaluation of the LES rest-

Traditional low-resolu­tion manometry (left; 1960-present) is 5 line tracings derived from pressure sites located in the LES and 5, 10, 15, and 20 cm above the LES in the esoph­agus. In contrast, HRM (2007-present) is a color-based topographic plot extending from pharynx to stomach derived from sophisticated computer algorithms converting data from 36 pressure sites 1 cm apart into a topograph

ing pressures during the swallow-free period, the morphology of the EGJ (LES and diaphragmatic crura), and the presence or absence of a hiatal hernia. The morphology of the EGJ is classi­ed into three types according to the level of separation that exists between the location of the LES and the PIP (which indicates the location of the crural diaphragm) (Fig.11.5) [3, 4].
Type I: the LES and the crural diaphragm coincide. Type II: small spatial separation of less than 2cm between the
crural diaphragm and the LES.
Type III: large spatial separation of more than 2cm between
the crural diaphragm and the LES.
Next, the LES pressure is assessed, as well as whether the EGJ
is appropriately relaxed with swallowing. Even though the CC

does not take into account the LES pressure, its assessment is rec­ommended as an average of inspiratory and expiratory values for three normal respiratory cycles during a swallow-free period. The EGJ function during swallowing is determined by a measurement called the 4-s integrated relaxation pressure (IRP). The integrated relaxation pressure (IRP) measures the relaxation of the EGJ.It is expressed as a median of the ten test swallows in mm Hg with 15mm Hg being the upper limit of normal (Fig.11.6).
Fig. 11.6 Integrated relaxation pressure (IRP) corresponds to the mean pres­sure of 4s of greatest post-deglutitive relaxation in a 10-s gap, triggered at the beginning of a swallow. Note diaphragmatic contraction pressure (*) during relaxation excluded from the analysis

Any mechanical or functional abnormality that creates an obstruction at the EGJ can elevate the IRP (achalasia, neoplasms, or strictures at the EGJ, hiatal hernias, and antireux surgery.
Step 2: Assess Esophageal Body Function (Table11.1) (Fig.11.7)
• Main esophageal contractility metrics:
Contraction Vigor The DCI is a measure of the contractile (per-
istaltic) force of esophageal contraction (mm Hg/s/cm). Each swallow is dened based on the DCI as either normal (DCI >450, but <8000), failed (DCI<100), weak (DCI >100, but <450mm),

Fig. 11.7 Contractile vigor as assessed using the DCI and contraction pat­tern. A contraction with a DCI <100mmHg-s-cm is failed (a); a contraction with a DCI>100 but <450mmHg-s-cm is weak (b); and a hypercontractile swallow is dened as a DCI >8000mmHg-s-cm (c). Premature contraction is dened as a distal latency (DL) <4.5 s (d). A weak contraction (DCI<450mmHg-s-cm) with reduced distal latency is considered failed (e). A contraction with a normal DCI (450–8000mmHg-s-cm) and a break >5cm is a fragmented contraction (f)
ineffective (failed or weak), or hypercontractile (DCI ≥ 8000) using the 20-mmHg isobaric contour (IBC) tool (Fig.11.8).
Contraction Pattern Distal latency (DL) is the time interval in seconds between the relaxation of the UES and the inection point along the isobaric contour of 30mm Hg where the velocity of propagation slows. DL is an indirect measure of swallowing inhibition and therefore of normal peristalsis (Fig.11.9). A mea­surement of less than 4.5s and a DCI > 450 dene a premature contraction. Fragmented contractions are considered segmental defects (break in the 20-mmHg isobaric contour >5cm) with nor­mal contraction vigor.
