Abstract
Experimental study was carried out in the dogs with common bile duct drainage to clarify a proper dose and infusion time in drip-infusion cholangiography.
50% solution of iodipamide, diluted with 50ml of 5% glucose solution, was infused in various doses and infusion times, and its iodine concentration in the bile, urine, and blood was examined.
A proper dose was 0.6 to 0.8ml/kg in normal dogs, and lower dose seemed to be better in the dogs with liver injury. The radiopaque solution was infused in 30 minutes either in normal dogs or in those with liver injury.
15 to 60 minutes was a proper infusion time with 0.8ml/kg of 50% iodipamide, and longer infusion time seemed to be better in the dogs with liver injury.
