The effects of three different prokinetic drugs on the motility hormones level in lambs with postoperative ileus

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the three different prokinetic agents, namely erythromycin, lidocaine,and metoclopramide in lambs with postoperative ileus (POI) using motilin and ghrelin, which are known as motility markers. Twentylambs were allocated to 4 groups of 5 lambs each. An enterotomy was performed on the ileum of each lamb. Erythromycin (8.8 mg/kg), metoclopramide (0.2 mg/kg), and saline (2 mL) were administered as single dose IM before surgery in the ERT, MET, and CNTRgroups, respectively. Lidocaine was administered to the LID group, both as a bolus before (1.3 mg/kg IV) and as a continuous rateinfusion during surgery (0.05 mg/kg/h IV). Serum motilin and ghrelin concentrations as motility hormones were measured with ELISA.The serum motilin concentration was significantly higher at 0, 1, 3, 5, 10, 24, and 48 h in the ERT group and at 1 and 10 h in the LIDgroup. The serum ghrelin concentration was significantly higher at 0, 1, and 48 h in the ERT group and at 3, 5, 10, 24, and 48 h in theLID group. As a result, erythromycin and lidocaine was thought to be useful in lambs with POI according to the stimulatory effects onthe motility hormones.
