Effect of circumcostal gastropexy on gastric myoelectric and motor activity in dogs

Gastric electrical and contractile activities were assessed in healthy adult dogs on the eighth day after circumcostai gastropexy surgery, using serosai electrodes and strain gauge force transducers. Recordings were anaiysed to determine gastric slow wave frequency, presence of gastric slow wave dys...

Description
Summary:Gastric electrical and contractile activities were assessed in healthy adult dogs on the eighth day after circumcostai gastropexy surgery, using serosai electrodes and strain gauge force transducers. Recordings were anaiysed to determine gastric slow wave frequency, presence of gastric slow wave dysrhythmlas, gastric slow wave propagation velocity, coupling of gastric contractions to slow waves, a gastric motility index based on relative contractile amplitudes, and onset of gastric contractions after a standardized meal. Overall, gastric electrical and contractile activities were relatively unaffected by circumcostai gastropexy.
