2012, MedicineCitation Excerpt :Gastric emptying studies in volunteers provide no support for the use of gastric lavage. In the single clinical study in which benefit was claimed for lavage within 1 hour of overdose,2 patients also received activated charcoal. There was also selection bias, and hence conclusions based on these data are limited.
Preliminary data were presented at the International Congress of Clinical Toxicology, Snowmass, Colorado, August 1982. The completed study was presented at the American Association of Poison Control Centers, American Academy of Clinical Toxicology, American Board of Medical Toxicology Annual Scientific Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, August 1983.
