title: Effect of 13-Nle-motilin in postoperative ileus patients: a double-blind trial.
abstract: In this study, the effect of 13-norleucine motilin (13-Nle-M) on post-cholecystectomy ileus was assessed in 6 female patients. 13-Nle-M given by continuous i.v. infusion (0.4 mug/kg-h) on the second and third day following surgery did not influence the manifestation and duration of intestinal paralysis in comparison to 6 control patients treated with 0.9% saline. Bowel sounds, however, were more pronounced in the 13-Nle-M-group. Blood pressure and pulse rate were not influenced by the polypeptide, and no other side effects were seen, either.
