Peritoneal lavage in the diagnosis of acute peritonitis
The American Journal of Surgery, 1988The study was aimed at determining the value of peritoneal lavage as an aid in the diagnosis of acute peritonitis when the diagnosis could not be made by ordinary clinical criteria. Thirty patients were studied prospectively. Twenty-five of the patients were suspected of having peritonitis but doubt existed because of an unreliable history or equivocal

Peritoneal Lavage with Low Morbidity
Clinical Toxicology, 1979Peritoneal lavage has proven to be a useful tool for evaluating abdominal trauma. However, morbidity levels associated with the technique have inhibited its wide acceptance. A technique has been developed that avoids the complications associated with use of a standard dialysis trocar or a mini-laparotomy.

Peritoneal lavage and filtration for cytology
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1969Abstract A technique for cul-de-sac peritoneal lavage and filtration is described. Preliminary experience with this procedure suggests its mass application may result in earlier cytologic diagnosis and increased salvage of patients with clinically occult intra-abdominal malignant disease.

Spreading organisms by peritoneal lavage
The American Journal of Surgery, 1968Abstract In a series of dogs a suspension of Serratia marcescens bacteria was instilled into a localized area of the peritoneal cavity. This area was thoroughly irrigated with normal saline with concomitant aspiration by suction. At the conclusion of the irrigation these organisms were cultured from three sites remote from the area of instillation.

An evaluation of intermittent peritoneal lavage
The American Journal of Medicine, 1959Abstract The use of intermittent peritoneal lavage in ten patients, for periods varying from three to twenty-seven days, is described. The smallest number of lavages performed in an individual patient was ten and the largest, fifty-three. The lavage solution is prepared simply by infusing 1 L. each of 5 per cent dextrose in saline solution, 5 per cent

Technic for peritoneal dialysis and diagnostic peritoneal lavage
The American Journal of Surgery, 1976Peritoneal dialysis has a well established but limited role in the management of renal failure. Diagnostic peritoneal lavage is an unappreciated but distinctly valuable adjunct to the clinical assessment of the severely injured patient [l-3]. Both procedures share the common technical requirement of intraperitoneal insertion of a catheter.

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1990
Of 29 blunt trauma victims with a diagnostic peritoneal lavage white blood cell count (DPL:WBC) greater than or equal to 500/mm3 as the sole positive lavage criterion, only four underwent laparotomy at admission, and only one of these had sustained intestinal perforation.

Peritoneal Lavage and Abdominal Trauma
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1983In general, patients who have sustained abdominal trauma can be separated into one of three groups: those with obvious life-threatening injuries, those with obvious nonimmediate life-threatening injuries, and those with equivocal or normal physical examination results in whom intra-abdominal injury is possible.

Postgraduate Medicine, 1989
Peritoneal lavage is a useful adjunct to physical examination and to other traditional means of assessing the patient with potential intraabdominal injury. The procedure is safe in experienced hands and may be easily and rapidly performed with a minimum of equipment. The information that lavage provides may spare some patients an exploratory laparotomy
