Abstract

Auscultation of bowel sounds has a decisive position in management of intestinal paralysis, although personal bound interpretation and documentation may give rise to problems. Our computerized electronic analysis system of bowel sounds permits easy objectivation of auscultation findings. This noninvasive method is optional a repeatable. We investigated 15 patients suffering from intestinal paralysis using this method. Good correlations between clinical findings and the results of our analysis allow reliable estimations of therapeutic measurements. Dosage of drugs influencing peristalsis is facilitated.
