Methods Summarized the nursing experiences before, during and after WHRM of 153 patients. Results Only 5 cases could not finish the test due to failure of intubation. 23 cases complained about nasopharyngeal discomfort but follow-up monitoring was unremarkable. Conclusion In order to ensure the completion of WHRM, nursing cooperation requires serious assessment and preparation before manometry, intimate observation of patients' condition during manometry, and keep the catheter disinfection after manometry.
