What is the pumping of the stomach?
The pumping of the stomach is a procedure to eliminate the stomach content by inserting the tube and extracting the content. The main conditions that require this procedure are behavior, consumption of too much alcohol and random or deliberate drug overdose. The pumping of the stomach is also known as irrigation of the stomach or irrigation of the stomach. In some cases, drugs are administered to induce vomiting, although certain types of poison should not be excluded by vomiting, causing the pumping of the stomach necessary for removal. In other cases, patients are unconscious and cannot take drugs to induce vomiting. The gastric rinse is the only means of removing toxin. Patients who are unconscious must be intubated before the procedure to prevent them from breathing stomach fluids into the Tědědice lungs. The flexible plastic tube is lubricated and then inserted through the nose or mouth into the stomach. Once the tube is verified that the tube is correctly in place, the stomach content is expelled through the tube. The stomach is then washed with warm wateror physiological solution until the liquids are clean. Due to the risk of electrolyte imbalances, only physiological solution is used in children.
After pumping the stomach, patients are held for the duration of the observation, where they are monitored for reaction to poison, alcohol or drugs. The observation period varies depending on what was originally swallowed. In some cases, depending on what has been consumed, the patient is activated to absorb any remnants of toxins that can still be in the stomach. Cathartic medicama can also be provided to accelerate bowel emptying.
Although ingestion of drugs or poison is the primary reason for drawing the stomach, there are other circumstances in which it is used. The stomach irrigation is sometimes performed to remove any content from the stomach or digestive tract before the operation, so it is clear when the operation is performed. BlackThe stomach ownership is also used to determine the levels of bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract and in some cases it is used as a cooling technique for hyperthermia.
