Abstract:
The aim of the present work is to deuelop a prototype to induce peristalsis in colon whít electrical estimulation. Experiments were performed by Phonogastrography in 9 healthy volunteers and 2 patients presenting with c1inical condítions known to be associated with
gastric motor disorders including: 1 with recent nausealvomíting and 1 with recent constipation.
Abdominal sounds were recorded by electronic stethoscope during 20 minutes in fast, recordings responses to electrical stimulation induced with bipolar electrodes by square wave generator.
The experiments showed that: 1) the sounds increased in amplitude.
