Esophageal Strictures Dysphagia= dys with difficulty +phagia with eating Causes GERD majority 25% other problems Eosinophilic esophagitis UW-Hospital, Dr. Mark Reichelderfer
Eosinophilic Esophagitis Adolescents and young men History of food and environmental allergies Difficult to treat: Associated with mucosal tearing and perforation mo/contents/pt1/images/g imo49-f4.jpg
Dilation Balloon Dilates radially increasing lumen TTS scope (through the scope) Perforations Dependent on: Clinician’s experience Equipment JPG 2/esophageal_structures_s06/images/ba lloondialation.bmp
Problem Statement Measure pressure in balloon Graph volume/pressure curve in real time Obtain test data on tissue compliance Be aesthetically pleasing for hospital setting Eventually be commercially available
Design Constraints Work with current dilation procedure Provide real time data Safety Equip laptop for hospital use Provide warning of esophageal perforation Compact enough for hospital setting
Previous Work Syringe is filled with saline Pressure measured with disposable pressure transducer Volume measured with linear potentiometer Outputs are connected to computer Designed LabVIEW circuit for real time graph Seashore, K. et. al. (2006). Device for Dilating Esophageal Strictures.
