  • Title: [Digestive motility during enteral nutrition].
    Author: Ducrotte P.
    Journal: Ann Gastroenterol Hepatol (Paris); 1988 Nov; 24(6):277-80. PubMed ID: 3145692.
    Abstract:
    During continuous enteral nutrition, continuing gastric emptying with a constant intragastric volume is observed, which depends on the rate of intragastric infusion. Initiation of enteral nutrition produces a temporary interruption in the propagation of peristaltic waves in the small intestine followed by a recovery of motility such as during fasting. This effect is variable depending on the type of nutritive mixture administered. Finally, the gall bladder demonstrates constant contraction. Colonic motricity has not been studied.
