Abstract
The motor activity of the small and large bowel provides the needed function of the nonDaI digestion, absorption and transportation of intraluminal contents and excretion of wast products. This molor activity and consequently movement of the bowel is associated with special types of contractions which result in sound production.
The motor activity of the bowel and hence bowel sounds usually affected by diseases and causes disturbance 0 f its normal pattern.
Although the intestine is not like the heart as it does not show rhythmic regular typical pattern of contraction every minute. TIle more extensive study shows that it shows many types of regular cycles like migrating motor complex of the small intestine, around clock motility pattern of the colon, gastroileal rellex an the segmenting contraction which increase postprandially.
Despite there is many methods and researches to intestinal rnotility, very few researches in the world since Cannon 1905 try to study intestinal sounds and found of il although intestinal sounds is the language by which the bowel always narrate about what it do second by second.
Because simple auscultation does not give much information about bowel sounds and can not be recorded and quantified or compared, many trials have been done to use a good toal which covers this needs and also be sheap and easily applicable.
Gumic & EL Sarafy developed a new method to record bowel sounds with the use of simple doppler apparatus connected to ECG machine to record events 011 ECG paper.
Gumje & EL Sarafy compare the results of new method with the auscultatory character of sound and with some methods of detection of bow’c) motility in normal subjects and those with irritable bowel diseases and succeeded to numerate and characterize the waves reported in this cases.
Our study is aiming to complete the standardization of this newly developed technique in other pathological state, which is the acute abdomen either due to surgical or medical problem.
Our study has been done in 20 normal SUl)jects and 40 patients with acute abdomen due to surgical and medical problem.
