Gastroesophageal pH Meter Market: Global Industry Trend Analysis 2012 to 2017 and Forecast 2017 - 2025
Introduction
Gastroesophageal pH meter is a direct in vivo measurement that record and measures the pH in esophagus for the evaluation of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Gastroesophageal pH test is performed by inserting a thin plastic catheter through a nostril into the esophagus using an endoscope. Catheter tip contains a sensor which measure the acidic level.
The sensor is placed above the lower esophageal sphincter, area specialized of esophageal muscle. The sensor records each reflux of the acid in this position. The gatroesophageal pH test measures the amount of acid backing up or refluxing from stomach into the esophagus. Results of gatroesophageal pH test are affected by some medications like H2 blockers, proton pump inhibitors, antacids, nitrates, and others.
The gastroesophageal pH test is commonly done to confirm the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease or to identify the cause of various symptoms like heartburn, uncommon symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (like chest pain, asthma, chronic cough and other throat symptoms).
A recently developed device for the monitoring of gastroesophageal pH uses a capsule called the bravo capsule. The capsule contains a battery, an acid sensing probe, and a transmitter. In addition, the capsule also contains a small magnet. Probe monitors the acid in the food pipe (esophagus) and accordingly transmits the information to a recorder.
The bravo pH capsule is attached to a delivery system. It is a catheter free test which measures the pH level in your esophagus. These measurements are used to evaluate the heartburn and acid reflux symptoms. However, the bravo pH test is not for those who are having an implantable cardiac pacemaker, obstructions, varices, and severe esophagitis.
The gastroesophageal pH monitoring has helped in the advancement of knowledge regarding gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The gastroesophageal pH meter has become an important tool in the management and diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
According to the CDC, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a very common disorder which is affecting mostly the children worldwide.
Gastroesophageal pH Meter Market: Drivers and Restraints
The global gatroesophageal pH meter market is driven by the rising adoption of in vivo measurements for the gastroesophageal reflux disease. Rising incidence of diseases related to the esophageal disorders is also the key factor which is driving the growth of global gatroesophageal pH meter market. However, lack of skilled physicians is expected to restrain the growth of gastroesophageal pH meter market.
