Abstract
The reflex paralysis of bowel movements induced in dogs by laparotomy, or by intraperitoneal injection of iodine, or by severe intra-abdominal traumatism, is promptly abolished by spinal anaesthesia with novocain. The possible mechanism of this action is discussed. The conception of paralytic ileus as a reflex inhibition of bowel movements which can be abolished by spinal anaesthesia is introduced.
