MethodNine young control subjects were intubated with a triple-lumen polyvinyl tube constructed so that the three orifices of the tube were separated by intervals of 60 cm.The tube was passed until the distal orifice was located in the terminal ileum, as determined by fluoroscopy. The middle opening was therefore 60 cm upstream in the proximal ileum, and the proximal opening was another 60 cm upstream in the midjejunum (FIGURE 1). Air or nitrogen containing 0.5% sulfur hexafluoride (SFla) as a marker gas was constantly infused at a rate of 30 cc/min through the proximal opening. Following a one-hour “washout” period and the establishment of an outflow of gas from the rectum approximately equaling the infusion rate, gas samples were collected anaerobically from the proximal ileum and terminal ileum via the intestinal tube and from the rectum via a rectal tube. Sulfur hexaflouride was used as a marker gas because previous studies had shown it to be extremely insoluble in water and very slowly absorbed from body cavitiess Under the conditions of our studies, only about 1% of the infused SFls was absorbed, and appeared in expired air. Since SFls is not produced in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and is only minimally absorbed, changes in SFls concentration indicate that a net volume of gas has been added to, or subtracted from, the infusate. Thus, SFls was used to correct for dilution changes similar to the use of polyethylene glycol in intestinal absorption studies. The collected samples were analyzed by gas chromatography, and the rate (cclmin) at which H2 or CH, passed each sampling site was calculated by means of standard constant infusion equations. 4
