Abstract
A comparison of gastric lavage versus peritoneal lavage rewarming was studied in a hypothermic rabbit model. The gastric lavage group (n = 5) had a mean rewarming time of 136 +/- 25.1 minutes versus the peritoneal lavage group (n = 6) mean rewarming time of 131.7 +/- 27.9 minutes (p = .795). Good correlation was found between tympanic membrane temperature readings and both rectal temperature readings (r = .69) in the gastric lavage group and esophageal temperature readings (r = .90) in the peritoneal lavage group. Gastric lavage and peritoneal lavage have the same rewarming rates in the present hypothermic model.
