“…This suggests that the radiographic models employed commonly in veterinary medicine are inadequate and that more sophisticated and definitive radiographic studies are required to make the diagnosis. A thorough study of the upper gastrointestinal system involves the use of glucagon to stop gastric motility temporarily, a double contrast study of the stomach with air and barium, and the use of fluoroscopy with spot filming (7). It is obvious that some of these technics are beyond the capabilities of the average veterinary hospital.…”

“…All examinations were done following techniques described by Laufer [9][10][11][12][13] and others with slight modification. The distal stomach and duodenum were evaluated simultaneously to minimize increase in procedure time [14].…”

The effect of small intravenous doses (0.025 and 0.05 mg) of glucagon was evaluated in 22 patients. All 12 patients given 0.05 mg demonstrated by hypotonicity of the stomach and duodenum at 1 min and beginning return of peristalsis at 2 1/2 min. Subsequently, 100 patients with radiographically normal upper gastrointestinal examinations who received 0.05 mg of glucagon intravenously were compared to 100 patients with normal examinations without it. Comparison was made to determine the effect of glucagon on gastric mucosal coating and distention of the stomach and duodenum. In all areas of the stomach, mucosal coating was significantly improved in the glucagon group. There was also increased distention of the distal antrum, duodenal bulb, and duodenal loop. No adverse effects were reported. Because of the short duration of action of glucagon, the examination needs to be coordinated and done rapidly. The routine use of a small dose of glucagon increased the performance time slightly with small additional cost but was compensated for by the increased diagnostic quality of the examination.

Optimum viscosity of barium suspension for use in the double contrast barium meal

The effect of viscosity of barium sulphate suspensions on coating was assessed by glass slides as in vitro, and the rat as in vivo models. It was found that below a certain viscosity (as measured by a cup viscometer) coating was impaired. As increasing viscosity is associated with increasing bubble retention and, eventually, when very high viscosities are reached, poor surface flow of suspension, it is recommended that the viscosity of the medium employed should be kept within a narrow range, approximately equal to 70% w/v Baritop, 80% Micropaque, 115% E--Z-paque, 150% Barosperse, or 200% HD 200.
