Guide for judicious use of the paracetamol absorption technique in a study of gastric emptying rate of liquids

Abstract: The paracetamol absorption technique, a widely used method for evaluating the gastric emptying rate of liquids, appears to be performed inappropriately, resulting from a lack of consideration of pharmacokinetics in paracetamol absorption. This review suggests that appropriate study designs and logical choice of the parameters for the rate of paracetamol absorption are the cornerstone of reliable investigation of gastric emptying using the paracetamol method.

“…The tracer, the paracetamol absorption approach and the 13 C-octanoate breath test (OBT), all support convenient means of evaluating GET. However, the breath test yields only a convolution index of GE, although it requires no gamma camera and can be performed at the bedside (Sanaka et al, 1998;2006). The use of a gamma camera to survey the absorption by subjects of Tc-99m radionuclidelabeled products satisfies the criteria for the application of the GI tract biokinetic model, because the short physical half life of Tc-99m is such that a limited dose is delivered.…”

“…Patients in group C in the first 24 hours received only crystalloid solutions and after 24 hours a paracetamol solution (1000 mg/50 ml) was administrated, also via the nasogastric tube. Gastric motility (emptying) measurement The paracetamol absorption model was used as an indirect measure of gastric motility and emptying (7,8). Venous blood samples were obtained via an indwelling peripheral cannula immediately before (calibration sample) and at 15 (t+15), 30 (t+30), 60 (t+60) and 120 (t+120) min after the administration of paracetamol.…”
