Table 1 Sound characteristics of acute bowel obstruction vs subacute bowel obstruction vs no obstruction
| No obstruction (n = 20) | Subacute obstruction (n = 11) | Acute obstruction (n = 40) | P value | |
| Sound duration (s) | 0.64 (0.20-1.57) | 0.63 (0.23-1.67) | 0.69 (0.19-2.10) | > 0.05 |
| Sound-to-sound interval (s) | 0.72 (0.46-1.27) | 0.70 (0.47-1.67) | 0.75 (0.41-1.41) | > 0.05 |
| Dominant frequency (Hz) | 325 (225-530) | 405 (218-565) | 315 (225-545) | > 0.05 |
| Peak frequency (Hz) | 595 (378-713) | 655 (465-735) | 585 (530-706) | > 0.05 |
