Gastro-intestinal suction.
نویسنده
چکیده
During recent years the many indications from reports in the surgical literature, and the reduction of the mortality from abdominal injuries of warfare, have indicated that gastro-intestinal suction can play a major role in reducing the mortality rate in a great number of surgical conditions. It is felt that although its value is well known to the majority of surgeons, there are many problems which require discussion, and there are still signs that gastro-intestinal suction is not employed in many conditions where it can be of particular value. In this article it is proposed to consider the indications for its use and to discuss some of the problems associated with the management of the suction. In the appendix at the end of this article are given the instructions which are issued to the surgical wards at Crumpsall Hospital. These instructions are supplemented and explained to the nurses at special lecture demonstrations, as it is felt that success or failure of gastro-intestinal suction depends primarily on the nursing staff.
