After the failure of other medicamentous treatment attempts for paralytic ileus, Ceruletid (Takus) was used in 20 surgical patients. Ceruletid was applied as an infusion of 40 microgram in 250 ml or 500 ml physiological saline solution over a period of 2-3 hours. During this time the occurrence of bowel sounds, flatulence and defecation was observed. The most important clinical and serological parameters were measured before and after treatment. Treatment was successful in 17 cases, in 3 cases no success was achieved. Severe side effects did not occur. The use of Ceruletid in the described form of administration can be recommended for the treatment of paralytic ileus.
A comparison study of 80 patients using either intramuscular ceruletide or a fatty meal to contract the gallbladder after oral cholecystography is described. The maximum mean percentage reduction of the gallbladder area was significantly greater with ceruletide (59%) compared to a fatty meal (29%). At all time intervals, a 40% or more reduction in gallbladder area occurred in a higher percentage of patients receiving ceruletide, with improvement in cystic and/or common duct visualization occurring at an earlier time than with a fatty meal. There were no adverse effects after gallbladder contraction when large or small calculi were present.
