Abstract
A single gastric-esophageal probe, 5 mm in diam, with two transducers mounted near the tip has been used to measure transdiaphragmatic pressure in human subjects. The transducers are linear up to at least 200 cmH2O pressure and provide equal deflections for both positive and negative pressures. The method is shown to give results comparable to the standard procedure using two balloon-tipped catheters, one in the stomach and one in the esophagus.Entities:
