Lavage/Gavage: The introduction of a tube into the stomach for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.

You can use two types of hoses: Salem-sump which is double lumen, plastic and disposable, or rubber/ plastic, disposable sinlge lumen Levin tube.

When you lavage, you administer and siphon back the liquid through the catheter placed in the stomach. (Lavage only lingers then leaves.)

When you gavage you instill - artificially feed through gastric intubation. (Gavage - give, get it!)

Because of problems with swallowing, a person may require tube feedings. That means the food must be liquified and carried directly to the stomach through tubes, bypassing the mouth and throat. This is called "gastric gavage." The tube may be inserted through the nose (naso-gastric) or through a surgically created hole in the person's neck, chest, stomach, or intestines.
