Gastric emptying and drug absorption before surgery.
The rate of paracetamol absorption following oral administration has been used as a model of drug absorption and as an indirect estimate of the rate of gastric emptying before and after elective or emergency surgery in 13 adult patients. The rates of paracetamol absorption before and after surgery were not significantly different and compared well with results obtained previously in normal volu...

A rationale for, and the results of, antireflux surgery in 58 children are reported. Suitability of the patient with primary reflux for this type of surgical correction is emphasized.

Some studies with medium-term (2-5 years) follow up show that antireflux surgery can provide good or excellent symptom control, with normal oesophageal acid exposure, in more than 90% of patient...

Sir,—In view of increasing interest in the effect of metoclopramide on the gastric emptying rate, may I briefly describe the results of a short trial carried out in the clinical situation as an addition to the information so far available on a drug action which could be of importance to anaesthesia. Under double-blind conditions, 39 patients appearing consecutively for emergency surgery were gi...
متن کاملModels of gastric emptying.
Some empirical and theoretical models of the emptying behaviour of the stomach are presented. The laws of Laplace, Hooke, and Poisseuille are used to derive a new model of gastric emptying. Published data on humans are used to test the model and evaluate empirical constants. It is shown that for meals with an initial volume of larger than or equal to 300 ml, the reciprocal of the cube root of t...
