Stomach pump and respiratory arrest if someone was intubated because they had stopped breathing could you also put a tube down them to pump their stomach at same time meaning TWO tubes at same time?
Menme
Yes this is an option that is available. When using an airway device referred to as a Combitube you can provide airway management, artificial breathing, and access to the stomach.(for pumping it) The combitube is simply two tubes glued together that gets stuffed down the throat.
The only caveat for pumping the stomach is that the holes in the combitube are somewhat small and no chunks bigger than about half a green pea would fit.
This is all assuming that you purposely placed the combitube into the esophagus instead of the trachea.
