Summary
| Description | This program discusses the materials, anatomy, and procedures used in peritoneal lavage, which may be indicated when a patient has suffered blunt abdominal trauma or where intraperitoneal hemorrhage cannot be ruled out because of impaired consciousness or inability to adequately examine the patient. The necessary equipment is presented and explained in detail, followed by demonstrations of insertion points on diagrams of external and internal anatomy. Two live demonstrations of this procedure in clinical settings are shown.(Critical) This program presents a definition of peritoneal lavage, discusses its use in trauma or suspected hemorrhage and describes how the technique is performed. The presentation is well organized, complete and well done. Thus, the program is highly recommended for surgeons, urologists, and practitioners of internal medicine, emergency medicine and family practice. |
