Probing of the stomach is undertaken to extract the contents, followed by a study of the functions of the stomach. In particular, motor and secretory functions. Let's start by listing the contraindications.
- Ulceration or inflammation of the mouth, pharynx.
- Gastric and esophageal bleeding.
- Violation of the patency of the esophagus.
- Stomach ulcers.
- Cardiovascular diseases.
Get this content after a test breakfast or on an empty stomach. The procedure itself consists in aspirating the contents of the stomach and / or duodenum (duodenum) using a special probe. Then, the resulting content is sent for research to the laboratory.
Gastric Sounding
- Both the day before and on the day of the procedure, the patient abstains from smoking.
- The day before sensing, all drugs are canceled.
- Gastric sounding performed on an empty stomach. 14 hours before the start, the reception is completely stopped.
- If the patient has removable dentures, they need to be removed.
Probing of the stomach simultaneously
It is performed by a thick probe, the length of which is about 80 cm. There are two holes on the rounded end. This method is simple and well accessible technically, but being uninformative, it is practically not used today for diagnostic purposes. At the same time, a thick probe is used during gastric lavage and other medical procedures.
Probing of the fractional stomach
Perform a thin probe for diagnostic purposes. The rubber tube (probe) is thin, reaches half a meter in length. Such a probe, without provoking a vomiting reflex, can be in the stomach, if necessary, for more than two hours. Thus, the goal of tracking and investigating secretory functions for the necessary time is achieved. The gastric end without olive is rounded and has two holes. At a distance of 50 and 70 centimeters from this end there are marks. For the introduction of a thin probe, the active assistance of the patient is necessary.
- A probe is inserted on an empty stomach, mainly in a sitting position.
- The end of the probe is placed on the root of the tongue. The patient’s breathing is deep and he produces leisurely swallowing movements.
- The patient tries to sit, tilting his head forward.
- The first label indicates that the probe reaches the bottom of the stomach, and the second that it has reached the pylorus.
- For complete extraction of the contents, the end of the probe must fall into the distal region, that is, penetrate approximately 50 - 60 centimeters from the edge of the teeth. You can focus on the growth of the patient by introducing the probe to a depth of "minus one hundred centimeters from the height of the patient’s height."
- The end of the probe is fixed with a clip on the patient’s outer clothing. Thus, an obstacle is created for penetration into the duodenum.
- A syringe is put on the opposite end of the probe. With its help, the contents of the stomach are extracted.
Starting the sounding of the stomach, completely pump out the juice in the stomach. Over the next hour, gastric contents are collected to evaluate basal secretion. Further, secretion is stimulated by the introduction of histamine or pentagastrin. After stimulation for an hour, portions of gastric juice are extracted every fifteen minutes . They are examined by visual, biochemical, microscopic methods.
Blind sounding
The goal is to flush the bile ducts, gall bladder, and also unload the liver. Very important for patients who have had hepatitis. Such sounding enhances the outflow of bile into the intestine, while accelerating its motor activity.
- In the morning, a glass of warm water is drunk on an empty stomach.
- After half an hour, a special choleretic breakfast is taken.
- Have a glass of warm tea.
- Lying on the left side, a warm heating pad is applied to the liver area.
- Having taken cover, lie like that for an hour and a half.
- After completion, perform light exercises and then you can eat.
hint
Blind sounding is also recommended in the presence of a specialist.
