Abdominal lavage is used in laboratory rodents for a variety of applications but carries an inherent risk of abdominal organ laceration; therefore, personnel carrying out this procedure must have considerable expertise. In this paper, the authors describe an improved method for delivering sterile media to and collecting peritoneal ...

BackgroundAfter total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer around 10% of patients develops local recurrences within the pelvis. One reason for recurrence might be spillage of cancer cells during surgery. This pilot study was conducted to investigate the incidence of remnant cancer cells in pelvic lavage after resection of rectal cancer. DNA from cells obtained by ...

This paper describes the successful nonoperative treatment of a 31-year-old male patient with thoracic and abdominal gunshot wounds. Once stabilized in the emergency department (ED), he was transferred to our general surgical department. On the first day after his admission, diagnostic peritoneal lavage (DPL) was performed, revealing a small amount of ...
A 16-year-old Libyan male was admitted to the Intensive Therapy Unit (ITU) of Zliten Central Hospital after he had been hit on the abdomen by a football, his main symptom was upper abdominal pain. The patient looked pale, was dyspnoeic and had an unrecordable blood pressure level. Abdominal examination revealed tenderness, guarding and rigidity all over ...
This study was undertaken to investigate the contribution of inflammatory response, when present in normal Syrian hamsters' lungs, to the fluctuations of cell yield and composition of lavage fluids. Rabbit and rodent lavage fluids have been extensively us...

A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed for fractionating the protein components of the lung's extracellular lining fluid, as sampled by bronchoalveolar lavage. With this method, 10 ml of rat bronchoalveolar lavage fluid ...

BackgroundThe elevated serum and peritoneal cytokine concentrations responsible for the systemic response syndrome (SIRS) and multiorgan failure in patients with severe acute pancreatitis lead to high morbidity and mortality rates. Prompted by reports underlining the importance of reducing circulating inflammatory mediators in severe acute pancreatitis, we designed this study to evaluate the ...

To analyze the effectiveness of peritoneal lavage and to define its limitations in the evaluation of patients who have sustained blunt abdominal trauma, a prospective study of 500 such patients was undertaken by the Trauma Service at the Naval Hospital, San Diego. Utilizing a qualitative colorometric method to evaluate the degree of hemoperitoneum, ...
The purpose of this study was to assess the use of ultrasonography in patients with acute abdominal trauma. Five hundred prospective patients, who came to the Emergency Department with acute trauma, were evaluated with ultrasonography and included in this study. The ultrasonographic examination focused on detection of free fluid but included evaluation of ...
The ideal assessment of the blunt abdominal trauma (BAT) patient would be sensitive, specific, economical, fast, and without complications. By combining ultrasound (US) with computed tomography (CT) and diagnostic peritoneal lavage (DPL), an effective alg...
Modalities available for the diagnosis of blunt abdominal traumatic (BAT) injuries include focused abdominal sonography for trauma, diagnostic peritoneal lavage, and computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen/pelvis. Hollow viscous and/or mesenteric injury (HVI/MI) can still be challenging to diagnose. Specifically, there is debate as to ...
We have developed a new HPLC method by which quantitative measurements can be made on the biochemical constituents of the extracellular fluid lining of the lung as sampled by bronchoalveolar lavage. Nine of the fractions are proteins, two are phospholipid...
Diagnostic procedures such as peritoneal lavage, computed tomography, emergency angiography, nuclear scintigraphy, and contrast studies of the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts can assist in the identification, quantification, and localization of injury after blunt abdominal trauma. Use of these procedures should be determined by careful clinically ...

IntroductionThe protective effect of glutamine, as a pharmacological agent against lung injury, has been reported in experimental sepsis; however, its efficacy at improving oxygenation and lung mechanics, attenuating diaphragm and distal organ injury has to be better elucidated. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that a single early intravenous dose of glutamine was associated not only ...
Lidocaine concentrations were measured after vaginal delivery or Caesarean section with epidural anaesthesia in samples of maternal and umbilical blood and in newborn gastric contents. The pH of the gastric aspirate was also determined in a number of neonates. Gastric lidocaine concentrations were higher and the pH was lower after vaginal delivery in comparison to Caesarean section. A significant ...
A lung lavage technique has been developed to recover alveolar macrophages from rhesus and cynomolgus monkeys. Sterile saline was injected through an endotracheal tube in anesthetized monkeys and then lung wash fluids containing leukocytes were withdrawn....

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: In recent years there has been increasing interest shown in the nonoperative management (NOM) of blunt traumatic injury. The growing use of NOM for blunt abdominal organ injury has been made possible because of the progress made in the quality and availability of the multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scan and the development of minimally invasive ...
