Test Dinner

TEST DINNER is used for investigating the motor function of the stomach. The most common types of test dinners are: 1) Boas test dinner. At 8 PM, the patient is given 70-100 g of white bread with butter, cold meat (200 g), and 2 glasses of tea with sugar and milk. Until the next morning, the patient eats nothing after receiving the test dinner. At 8-10 AM, a thick tube is inserted, and in normal conditions, the stomach contents should not contain macroscopically visible food residues. 2) Strauss test dinner is based on giving with food 12 hours before tube insertion substances that can be easily detected in stagnant stomach contents in cases of motor insufficiency. The Strauss test dinner consists of rice porridge with the addition of 1-2 tablespoons of raisins or 1 tablespoon of dried currants. Bourge proposed adding to the test dinner several pieces (5-6 pieces) of cooked prunes, Kach-compote from lingonberries, Ewald-raisins. This also includes the addition proposed by Robin of 2 g of bismuth to the test dinner, the addition of 0.5 g of carmine (Friedrich), one teaspoon of animal charcoal (Bennett). Kach. 2 09

Uzles proposed using as test dinners the trial dinners of Rigel, Bourge, Kemp, and Fab'er (see Trial Dinner). Finding macroscopically visible impurities the next morning (12 hours after administration of the test dinner) indicates the presence of motor insufficiency of the second degree in the patient. The presence 12 hours after the test dinner of microscopic residues in the stomach contents is also observed in healthy people. Boas dietary schemes are used to determine the appropriate nature of the food ration in patients with motor insufficiency of the stomach (see Stomach, pathology of motor function). Detection in the stomach contents on an empty stomach of rice porridge with milk or butter given the previous day with a certain daily food regime indicates a moderately compensated stenosis, while the presence of potato puree indicates a more severe, not yet compensated stenosis.
