Gastric motility could be assessed more accurately with larger volume balloons, while epigastric symptoms were evoked with increasing balloon volume. The optimal balloon to measure gastric motility has a 5 cm diameter and is 11 cm long (210 mL). A nasogastric balloon catheter can now be developed that enables relatively easy monitoring of gastric motility in patients with epigastric symptoms.
