  • 1.  Esophageal Manometry

    Posted 20 days ago

    Curious as to where other organizations are performing Esophageal Manometry in the Ambulatory Care settings (clinics, surgical center, endoscopy suite, etc.)? If you are,
    2. Who performs the Eso Manometry (provider, nurse, technician)?
    3. Is informed consent obtained? If so, who obtains the consent (ordering provider; performing clinician (nurse/technician, etc.)

    Looking forward to your input!

    Sabrina,

    I don't have the answer readily available, but we have a Gastric Motility clinic at our academic hospital. I'll reach out to their leadership to see if this is something they're performing and see if I can help get answers or a contact for you (no promises, but I'll try)!

    @Sabrina Sumner 

    Our hospital based endoscopy team performs the esophageal manometry in the hospital (including in the off-site clinic that is an extension of the hospital- same team, different walls). 

    Referrals come from the clinics. Nurses are trained to perform the procedure and go over all instructions and education with the patient. 

    Written consent is obtained for pediatric patients, which the MD obtains. Adults do not have written consent for this procedure. 

    Hope this helps! Let me know if you'd like the contact information for the Nurse Manager of that department!

    We do! 
    it is done in our Endoscopy Center. 
    it is done by either an RN or tech. Both have additional competencies. Read by Physicians. 
    consent is done by the RN - but the conversation was done by the ordering Provider. 


    let me know if I can help connect you with our Endoscopy team. :)

    Hi good morning! We have a motility procedural center where we perform esophageal and anorectal manometries, as well as pH impedance testing and biofeedback therapy. The nurses perform the procedures, and we do not obtain consent. Hope this helps!
