Abstract
24-hour oesophageal pH monitoring is a necessary tool to diagnose Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease. The technical characteristics of the available equipments have been improved and standard criteria to identify reflux episodes have been defined, increasing the sensitivity and specificity of the test. The state of the art on the technical features of prolonged pHmetry will be reviewed in this paper.
