Is the removal of stomach content by inserting a tube through the nostril down to the throat to posing.
Its when the nurse or doctor inserts a nasogastric tube into one of the nares and pushes it down into the stomach. After the tube position is verified (must make certain the tube is in the stomach), the nurse or MD flushes the NG tube, sometimes even with ice water if its for bleeding although there are other reasons too for gastric lavage (I've only witnessed the ice water variety). Your basic procedures would be to follow NG tube placement guidelines. Nursing considerations for the procedure would be 1) patient's ability to tolerate, 2) are the nares patent enough to pass the NG tube, 3) once inserted, is the NG tube in the correct location- the stomach or is it curled up or positioned in the lung, I will look up on the internet and look more for this answer..or ask your doctor..
A technique for washing poison out of the stomach by instilling water/saline solution through a tube, removing the stomach contents by suction, and repeating the process. It is also called stomach pumping.
