Gastric emptying scintigraphy with decay correction. In patient 1 the gastric emptying half-time was more than 300 min. IV metoclopramide (Reglan®) was given at 75 min and IV erythromycin administered at 95 min, decreasing the half-time to 60 and 5 min respectively. In patient 2 gastric emptying half-time was 270 min that decreased to 16 min after the administration of IV erythromycin at 82 min of the test. In patient 3 the half-time decreased from 179 min to 10 min after administration of IV erythromycin at 76 min of the test. In patient 4 the half-time decreased from 100 min to 20 min after administration of IV erythromycin at 76 min of the test. In patient 5 the half-time decreased from 108 min to 10 min after the administration of IV erythromycin at 75 min of the study. T1/2: gastric emptying half-time, Erythro: erythromycin.
