Esophageal Manometries and 24 Hour pH studies


I'm the only RN doing them at my hospital and have not takers from anyone to learn. Is there any nurses that are interested in doing them and does anyone know of courses to learn to read them?

I am assuming by reading them you mean preforming the test and not interpreting them. Usually at the hospitals that I work at there are 2-3 nurses that can do them. For education both Sandhill and Medtronic have courses (depending on the equipment). Here are the listings. I would definitely recommend the hands on course over the online. The nurses go much more out of the hands on.
