Chicago Classification for the interpretation of esophageal manometry: Evaluating for disorders of EGJ outflow obstruction
This flow diagram represents a conceptual model of the process for evaluating esophageal manometry studies using the Chicago Classification version 4.0 diagnosis scheme. Esophageal motility testing protocols may be modified based on the patient's symptoms, suspected diagnosis, and ability to tolerate the study. In addition, esophageal manometry testing protocols may vary by center.
