title: Oesophageal transit of liquid: effects of single or multiple swallows.
abstract: The effects of single and multiple swallowing on oesophageal transit have been evaluated in healthy subjects. It was shown that the transit patterns observed after multiple swallowing were different from that observed after a single swallow. It was concluded that for the detection of oesophageal transit abnormalities, the test should be performed using a single swallowed bolus.
