Abstract

Ano-rectal pressures from four different directions were measured in 14 normal infants and children. There was no significant difference of ano-rectal pressures, regardless of the direction which the side-opening faced. Recto-anal reflex was present in every direction as well.

Zusammenfassung

Bei 14 normalen Kindern und Säuglingen wurde der anorektale Druck an vier verschiedenen Stellen in gleicher Höhe gemessen. Die Richtung der seitlichen Öffnung des Katheters ergab keinen wesentlichen Unterschied im anorektalen Druckwert. Auch der rekto-anale Reflex konnte in allen Richtungen registriert werden. L.-T.
