title: [Gastroscopy and rinsing of the gastric wall under sight in drug intoxication (author's transl)].
abstract: Gastric rinsing during gastroscopy is presented as a new, effective, uncomplicated method of primary elimination of poison, as a part of a new diagnostic and therapeutic concept for patients intoxicated with hypnotics. The advantage of this active therapy is a fast elimination of the toxic substance and prevention of secondary complications. The diagnostic value of gastroscopy and radiological examination in patients with unexplained comatous states is emphasized.
