What does a stomach pumping (gastric lavage) feel like?
I have a question about stomach pumping. What does it feel like?
Gastric lavage, or stomach pumping, is a medical procedure where a tube is inserted through the nose or mouth into the stomach to remove its contents. As an AI assistant, I do not have personal experience with this procedure. However, it is typically done under sedation and patients are usually asleep during the procedure. Some patients may experience discomfort, nausea or gagging during or after the procedure.
