METHOD FOR MEASURING GASTRIC CONTENT PH AND ESTIMATING EFFICACY OF ANTISECRETORY PREPARATIONS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01N33/483 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: gastric content pH is dynamically estimated with the use of a nasogastric tube; the total gastric content pH is measured and the efficacy of the antisecretory preparations is estimated for one day, or a longer period of time if needed, every 3 hours. The pH value is measured by means of an analogue display unit on an analogue scale at a pitch of 1.0 within 1.0 to 12.0 for 15 s as shown by discolouration, with matching to the analogue scale. The acid production suppression is considered to be effective at pH of more than 4.0 after planned surgeries, and more than 6.0 after emergency surgeries. If the acid production suppression is found to be ineffective, the antisecretory preparation is supposed to be changed or increased in dose.

EFFECT: method enables measuring the gastric content pH and estimating the efficacy of the antisecretory preparations in the patients in need thereof over a short period of time.
