Tubeless Gastric Analysis: A Study of 100 Cases

Tubeless Gastric Analysis with Azure A and Betazole Hydrochloride

“…A review of the available literature indicates that 146 false-negative results (7.1 %) and only 27 falsepositive results (1.3%) were detected in 2,054 tubeless analyses which were checked by gastric intubation (Table II) (Segal et al, 1950b(Segal et al, , 1955 Malach and Banks, .~~~~~~~~~1~1 952; Becker and Maslon, 1953;Conway and Meikle, 1953;Flood et al, 1953;Harkness and Durant, 1953;Sharp et al, 1954;Shay et al, 1954;Pollard et al, 1954;Fentress andSandweiss, 1955, 1957;Galambos and Kirsner, 1955;Goldbloom et al, 1955;Segal and Miller, 1955;Sievers and Gieselman, 1956;Bolt et al, 1957;Gilbert et al, 1957;Poliner et al, 1957;Rechtshaffen et al, 1957;Sievers and Fischer, 1957;Denborough et al, 1958;Rodman et al, 1958;Rosenthal and Buscaglia, 1958;Glass et al, 1960;Marks and Shay, 1960. Although more false-negative results occurred with azure A, 9.4%, against 2.2% using quininium, some of this difference may be accounted for by the better techniques used for comparison in the azure A studies.…”
