High Resolution Manometry: Optimizing the Swallow Protocol
This study is using a new technology known as high resolution manometry which is used to
evaluate patients that have trouble swallowing or have chest pain that is not related to the
heart. The investigator wants to learn how the different positions of the body, in a lying
position, semi-recumbent, sitting position or standing up, and the amount of liquid affects
the outcome of the test. This will help the investigator to determine a standardized
protocol for patients with trouble swallowing.

The esophageal manometry will be performed in the motility lab at the Shands Endoscopy
Center by passing a small tube into the patients nose, down the food pipe and into the
stomach. The participants will be instructed to swallow a determined volume of
Gatorade,depending on the protocol being followed. All participants will be starting in the
supine position followed by semi-recumbent,sitting, then standing up. When the esophageal
manometry is finished, the tube is removed and participation in this study is complete.
