Effects of posture on gastric emptying of nonnutrient liquids and antropyloroduodenal motility
Abstract
The effects of posture on gastric emptying, intragastric distribution, and antropyloroduodenal motility after ingestion of a nonnutrient liquid have been evaluated. In seven healthy volunteers antropyloroduodenal pressures were measured for 30 min after ingestion of 150 ml of normal saline in two different positions: sitting and left lateral. Saline drinks were radiolabeled and ingested both before and after intravenous atropine (4 …
