Where is the lead? What is it used for?
There is an impedance pH probe projected over the mediastinum. The thicker components of the probe are multiple impedance sensors.
The patient is likely to experience discomfort with a probe placed in their esophagus for 24 hours and now wireless pH sensor probes are generally employed.
Case Discussion
There is an esophageal pH impedance probe in situ.
