Effect of pneumoperitoneum and artificial pneumothorax on gastric acid secretion

Abstract

We processed the case histories of patients in whom the analysis of gastric juice coincided with the beginning of treatment with collapsotherapy and gastric secretion was re-examined during the period of their treatment with puffing up. Gastric juice was taken in the morning 1 hour after Ewald-Boas breakfast. The examined patients during the analysis of gastric secretion received only collapsotherapy (inflation) for pulmonary tuberculosis. In total, we studied 12 patients in whom the analysis of gastric juice was carried out 3-4 times. Patients were blown into the chest cavity after 7-10 days, 500 ml of air and into the abdominal cavity - 800 ml. Of the 12 patients, 2 were blown into the chest cavity and 10 into the abdominal cavity. The age of the patients is from 25 to 45 years. There were 3 men and 9 women.
