More Reasons to Reduce Indications of Gastric Lavage in Self Poisoning

Bennis Nechba Rita

Recently, gastric lavage (GL) is known to be unnecessary in some circumstances where it used to be performed as a routine [1,2]. The flood of airways is a severe complication of GL [3]. It must be prevented by previous tracheal intubation of patients presenting disturbances of consciousness. However, this intubation doesn’t assure absolute security. In fact an acute lung injury (ALI) may happen during GL linked to malposition of gastric sound into bronchial tube. In this way we report a case of a severe iatrogenic ALI due to the GL.
