Recording points placed on the abdominal wall were, the first lead over the pylorus, the second lead over ileocecal region and the third lead over rectosigmoid junction. By simultaneous measurement of the bowel sounds at these three points origins were estimated.
Actual bowel sounds were recorded after administration of effervescent or stimulants to delineate the occult lesions.
Twenty-four hours after gastrointestinal operations, frequency of bowel sounds decreased by 30% and skike hight by 80%. In coltis, many continuous spikes of 0.4 sec. were observed and this frequency was 5 times as that of normal groups. In abmormal groups continuous spike time was 0.50 sec. befoe stimulation and 1.25 sec. after administration of Sorbit, 1.62 sec., Panthethine and 2.77 sec., Vugostigmine. Intestinal movement after stimulation increased less than 2.5 times in normal group and greater than 4.5 times in ileus cases.
