ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL METHODS FOR ASSESSING THE FUNCTIONAL STATE OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT

Abstract

According to the criteria of prevalence and loss of working capacity, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) occupy one of the leading places. Disorders of the functional state of the gastrointestinal tract, which are accompanied by violations of its motor-evacuation functions, are considered. To identify gastrointestinal motility disorders, it is necessary to conduct studies that are invasive, or are accompanied by radiation exposure and are difficult to analyze. In this regard, simple non-invasive methods of functional diagnostics, such as peripheral electrogastroenterography (EGEG), are of particular importance. Electrogastroenterography has no contraindications and is well tolerated by all patients. This allows you to examine even extremely severe patients, both before surgery and from the first hours of the postoperative period. Given the simplicity and accessibility of the technique, it is possible to conduct multiple repeated studies to assess the dynamics of indicators in the course of treatment. The data obtained with electrogastroenterography do not contradict and often outstrip the results of X-ray and endoscopic examination, which indicates a higher sensitivity of the method for diagnosing motor disorders of the motor-evacuation functions of the gastrointestinal tract, Significantly improving the timeliness and quality of diagnosis to expert doctors allows the use of modern computer technology.
