What is BRAVO esophageal monitoring?
BRAVO esophageal monitoring is a wireless device in a capsule that is placed in your esophagus by your GI clinician while you are sedated. It is used to measure the amount of stomach acid that is present in the esophagus, the tube that connects the mouth with the stomach.

If you have GERD, your Gastroenterology Associate of Brooklyn may recommend that you use the device to help monitor your condition. If they recommend this test, they will provide you with the information you need to know.
The results of this test can help your doctor determine if your symptoms are caused by GERD. If so, they can then develop a treatment plan that is best for you.
