Adherence to international recommendations for gastric lavage in medical drug poisonings in Denmark 2007-2010
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Recent reviews strongly discourage the routine use of gastric lavage in oral poisonings, but the authors suspected that gastric lavage might still be in widespread use in Denmark. We wished to estimate the extent to which gastric lavage in cases of medical drug poisoning, reported in inquiries to the Danish Poison Information Centre (DPIC) from 2007 to 2010, was performed according to international recommendations and whether adherence to recommendations improved over the period.
