EP 44: Pharyngeal High-Resolution Manometry-Impedence with Taher Omari
Update: 2025-08-25
Description
Prof. Taher Omari, Physiologist, Principal Research Fellow and lead of the Swallowing Research Group at Flinders University in Adelaide (Australia) joins us to share insights on the new Leuven Consensus. This research project sets out recommendations for pharyngeal and upper esophageal sphincter (UES) disorders using high-resolution manometry with impedance (P-HRM-I).
Taher explains:
- the principles of P-HRM-I
- how the consensus was developed
- the diagnostic procedure when using P-HRM-I
- what it means for advancing clinical practice and research in dysphagia
