Experience in the diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease using the anomanometer
Abstract:
Results of using electromanometry as the sole preoperative diagnostic test for Hirschsprung's disease are presented. Out of a total of 113 infants and children diagnosed to be suffering from the disease, manometry was the initial diagnostic test in 92 infants and children. In nine, manometry confirmed the diagnosis after a colostomy has been done. In 11, barium enema had diagnosed the condition at a peripheral hospital and manometry confirmed the diagnosis. In one, manometry was interpreted as normal, but laparotomy revealed Hirschsprung's disease. Histologic corroboration has been obtained in 97 instances. In 14, no operative treatment was undertaken and, hence, no histologic examination was made; in 2, histologic examination is still pending.

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
