摘要: Objectives To confirm feasibility of transnasal placement a wireless pH-monitoring capsule in the upper esophagus, and to determine positive predictive value LPR GERD signs symptoms for diagnosis patients with OSAHS. Study Design Prospective, nonrandomized, IRB-approved study 89 OSAHS without LPR. Methods After complete history including QOL survey fiberoptic laryngoscopy, underwent data collection 24 hours. Results 77 consecutive successful (86.5% success rate) completed study. 55 (71.4%) had pH studies. 10.4% these reported no or LPR, indicating occult disease. Conclusion Success rates placement, tolerability, morbidity, complications are excellent. Wireless esophageal monitoring is safe effective diagnosing
