[Intra-abdominal haemorrhage: control by perfusion-dialysis (author's transl)]. 1978

J Guiset, and G Lagache

Puncture-dialysis has taken its place amongst emergency surgical procedures in the diagnosis of intra-abdominal haemorrhage. On the basis of experimental, theoretical and clinical considerations, it is suggested that the lavage fluid not only be left in the abdomen after diagnostic puncture-lavage, but that lavage should be continued in the form of a perfusion system, in addition to intravenous fluids in order to re-establish or maintain normal pressure levels.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010477	Perfusion	Treatment process involving the injection of fluid into an organ or tissue.	Perfusions
D011312	Pressure	A type of stress exerted uniformly in all directions. Its measure is the force exerted per unit area. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 6th ed)	Pressures
D011677	Punctures	Incision of tissues for injection of medication or for other diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. Punctures of the skin, for example may be used for diagnostic drainage; of blood vessels for diagnostic imaging procedures.	Micropunctures,Micropuncture,Puncture
D002404	Catheterization	Use or insertion of a tubular device into a duct, blood vessel, hollow organ, or body cavity for injecting or withdrawing fluids for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. It differs from INTUBATION in that the tube here is used to restore or maintain patency in obstructions.	Cannulation,Cannulations,Catheterizations
D003956	Dialysis	A process of selective diffusion through a membrane. It is usually used to separate low-molecular-weight solutes which diffuse through the membrane from the colloidal and high-molecular-weight solutes which do not.

D004630	Emergencies	Situations or conditions requiring immediate intervention to avoid serious adverse results.	Emergency
D006465	Hemoperitoneum	Accumulations of blood in the PERITONEAL CAVITY due to internal HEMORRHAGE.	Hemoperitoneums

D000005	Abdomen	That portion of the body that lies between the THORAX and the PELVIS.	Abdomens
D014690	Venous Pressure	The blood pressure in the VEINS. It is usually measured to assess the filling PRESSURE to the HEART VENTRICLE.
