Examination of 55 patients, who underwent operation for generalized peritonitis of various etiology, included comparative appraisal of the degree of portal and systemic bacteremia and the leukocytic index of intoxication in patients with and those without nasointestinal intubation. It was found that the microflora of a paretic intestine was one of the most important factors of intoxication in patients with peritonitis in the postoperative period. Nasointestinal intubation in this case proved to be an effective method for reducing the degree of portal and systemic bacteremia and ensured a significant decrease of the degree of intoxication as compared to that in the control group.

D010538	Peritonitis	INFLAMMATION of the PERITONEUM lining the ABDOMINAL CAVITY as the result of infectious, autoimmune, or chemical processes. Primary peritonitis is due to infection of the PERITONEAL CAVITY via hematogenous or lymphatic spread and without intra-abdominal source. Secondary peritonitis arises from the ABDOMINAL CAVITY itself through RUPTURE or ABSCESS of intra-abdominal organs.

D011168	Portal System	A system of vessels in which blood, after passing through one CAPILLARY BED, is conveyed through a second set of capillaries before it returns to the systemic circulation. It pertains especially to the hepatic portal system.	Portal Systems,System, Portal,Systems, Portal

D016470	Bacteremia	The presence of viable bacteria circulating in the blood. Fever, chills, tachycardia, and tachypnea are common acute manifestations of bacteremia. The majority of cases are seen in already hospitalized patients, most of whom have underlying diseases or procedures which render their bloodstreams susceptible to invasion.	Bacteremias
