title: [Epicutaneous electrical recording for immediate diagnosis of the site of intestinal occlusions and subocclusions].
abstract: 64 patients have been studied by means of an original abdominal epicutaneous electric recording technique. Cases of intestinal paralysis did not show up waves of particular importance while cases of intestinal occlusion showed waves of three basic types. A close relationship was found between types of waves and occlusion localization. The physiopathological and clinical implications of this diagnostic approach are discussed.
