Clinical evaluation of vasopressin in the elimination of intestinal gas
Vasopressin, a hormone secreted from the posterior lobe of the hypophysis, has endocrinological and antidiuretic effects; it contracts vessels and smooth muscles, especially intestinal smooth muscle. In the present study, we investigated the role of vasopressin (Pitressin: arginine-vasopressin) in e...

| Zusammenfassung: | Vasopressin, a hormone secreted from the posterior lobe of the hypophysis, has endocrinological and antidiuretic effects; it contracts vessels and smooth muscles, especially intestinal smooth muscle. In the present study, we investigated the role of vasopressin (Pitressin: arginine-vasopressin) in elimination of intestinal gas on excretory urography reading. Sixty outpatients were randomly divided into six groups. In Group I, the routine procedure was employed, i.e. laxatives the previous night and NPO the morning of the examination. In Groups II to VI, different dose regimens were employed: 6 or 10 units of Pitressin was administered by subcutaneous injection 30 minutes prior to injection of a contrast medium, with or without NPO. Intestinal gas elimination was evaluated by X-ray films taken before and after injection of Pitressin. The efficacy was rated by four grades. There were no significant differences in the gas elimination or occurrence of side effects between any two groups. Younger patients seemed to respond quickly to Pitressin and good effects were obtained. These results indicate that the pretreatment for excretory urography with 6 units of Pitressin without NPO may be a safe and effective alternative method for elimination of intestinal gas, in particular for young patients |
