Gastric emptying pattern in Thai infants.
Gastric emptying of milk from the stomach of Thai infants shows a biphasic pattern. At 40 minutes the amount of stomach contents is more than at 20 minutes. At 100 minutes, only 16 per cent of the initial amount was recovered. The results of our study can be used as a standard reference for further study in infants with other diseases.
