Abstract

Gastric emptying was measured using the paracetamol absorption method in 30 patients immediately after a general anaesthetic for minor gynaecological surgery and in 10 female controls. Anaesthesia was induced with either propofol alone, propofol and alfentanil (4.5 micrograms.kg-1) or propofol and fentanyl (1.4 micrograms.kg-1) and maintained with intermittent propofol and 66% nitrous oxide in oxygen. Gastric emptying was delayed significantly in all patient groups when compared with volunteers. However, the delay in gastric emptying was similar in the three patient groups.
