So: "...this could be esophageal pressure, [measured] using an esophageal balloon catheter"

Wendy Cummings Jan 22, 2007:

Not 100% sure, but I think it may be "Esophageal balloon catheter". See http://www.custommedical.com/products/balloon/ There is also a good explanation at http://oac.med.jhmi.edu/res_phys/Encyclopedia/EsophagealBall...

See the comment in my answer - Esophageal is the American way of spelling Oesophageal, which is how it is spelt in British English.

Is this the same as "esophageal pressure " and could you help me also with "catéter de un balón esofágico" Thanks a lot!!
