Abstract
In hydrocarbon intoxication, gastric lavage and efforts that induce vomiting are not recommended and patients are treated with supportive procedures and observation. Pulmonary complications are common and c/jcct prognosis. This study is undertaken to investigate the risk of sfxmtaneous pulmonary aspiration in kerosene ingestion. Rabbits were grouped in 2 randomly with 10 in each. Kerosene was instilled directly into the stomach through an orogastric tube and via an angiocath through mmilaparotomy to the first and second groups- res/ieciively. Animals were sacrificed after 4S hours and both lungs were removed for histopathological examination. The difference between the results of histopathological findings were not statistically significant. ¡Journal of Turgut Özal Medical Center I (3): IK2-IX4,1994/
