Swallowing Maneuvers Impact Esophageal Physiology by Andressa Araújo is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This study evaluated the effects of two voluntary swallowing maneuvers (Mendelsohn maneuver and effortful swallowing) on esophageal physiology compared to normal swallowing. Healthy volunteers underwent high-resolution manometry while performing the maneuvers with and without a 5 ml bolus. The Mendelsohn maneuver resulted in more non-peristaltic swallows and higher intrabolus pressure than normal swallowing. Effortful swallowing resulted in more peristaltic swallows than the Mendelsohn maneuver. The study s
