I work in an Endoscopy lab and one of our physcians has started using Sodium Morrhuate injections for dilated gastric outlet post Gastric Bypass pts.

I work in cardiac care and on occasion, get folks with a gastric pacemaker. Since I do not get them frequently enough, I did not want to generalize my opinion based on the few patients I've had with them.

I would think that they would eliminate these problems. I thought I'd ask you GI nurses to get your experience on them. Thanks in advance. ]]> Gastroenterology Nursing buddiage http://allnurses.com/gastroenterology-nursing/gastric-pacemaker-looking-435734.html
