Gastric emptying after head injury.
Gastric emptying was measured in patients after head injury and compared with that of healthy volunteers using the rate of paracetamol absorption as an indicator of gastric emptying rate. There was a trend towards slower gastric emptying in the head injured patients, but the differences were not statistically significant.
