    AbstractGastric lavage or ipecac-induced emesis are routinely recommended in the management of the acutely poisoned patient. Efficacy of either procedure has not been shown. Three cases are described clearly demonstrating inefficacy of emesis and wide bore orogastric lavage. The role of these procedures requires careful controlled evaluation. Until the publication of supportive data, their efficacy is unproven.
