Of the many hollow tubes which serve the body economy, the alimentary canal is the only one which communicates with the surface at both origin and termination. Advantage has long been taken of this arrangement in dealing with the distended intestinal tube by intubation, when the distention was of other than mechanical origin. The rectal tube and gastric lavage are old and well established therapeutic procedures. It is now twenty-four years since Westermann1 first used the duodenal tube in the relief of postoperative distention of peritonitis. With the introduction of the smooth tipped duodenal tube for nasal intubation by Levin2 in 1921 and satisfactory demonstration of the source of gas in postoperative distention by McIver and his associates3 in 1926 as being largely swallowed air, the relief of postoperative distention through employment of the duodenal tube has become a matter of general practice.From observations made on |
