ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of certain endoscopic treatments, specifically peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) and gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (GPOEM), on breathing and blood pressure in patients with conditions like esophageal achalasia and gastroparesis. The researchers want to understand if there are specific factors that could predict complications during general anesthesia and how changes in pressure within the abdomen might affect a patient’s breathing and blood flow during these procedures.

If you are at least 18 years old and classified as having a low to moderate risk for anesthesia (ASA classification 1 to 3), you may be eligible to participate. Participants will receive standard care for their treatment and will not have to follow any special rules beyond what is usual for this procedure. It's important to note that individuals who have difficulty following study procedures due to language or mental health issues may not be able to take part in this trial.
