Context 1
... barostat is a computerized air pump device that measures fundic relaxation in response to a meal, by monitoring the volume of air within an intragastric bag (a polyethylene balloon [15]) that is clamped at a constant pressure level [16]. The system maintains a constant pressure by fixing it and changes the bag's volume reflecting gastric relaxation or contraction (Figure 3). In this way, gastric accommodation response to various interventions is recorded. ...
Context 2
... is the reason why today non-invasive methods are preferred, and they will be later described in this chapter. Moreover, the barostat balloon can't perfectly measure post-prandial accommodation of the entire stomach, and it is possible that it interferes with the intra-gastric management of the meal [18] (Figure 3). ...
