| Intervention | A 5 ml sample of blood will be taken for measuring baseline paracetamol content. 1.5 g of soluble paracetamol will be administered to them through their nasogastric tube. They will then be randomised to receive 250 g of either nasogastric or intravenous erythromycin. Further blood samples (5 ml each time) will be taken at 15, 30, 45, 60, 120, 180 and 240 min after giving paracetamol. These samples will then be sent to the laboratory for assay. After obtaining the data, these will be analysed for statistical significance. |
