摘要
Total gut lavage is a widely recommended method in preparation for colonoscopy and there are almost no reports of severe complications in the literature. Application of orthograde ravage by a nasogastric tube may be necessary in disorientated patients, assisted by slight medical sedation, if necessary. Despite absolutely correct appliance of the method, a case of severe aspiration with subsequent hypoxemia and stroke in a senile female patient, suffering from a common hiatal hernia, is described.
