AB  - Whole  bowel  irrigation  is  the  infusion  of  polyethylene  glycol  electrolyte  lavage  solution  into  the  stomach  at  flow  rates  higher  than  are  otherwise  commonly  used.  This  technique  can  be  used  to  decontaminate  the  gastrointestinal  tract  after  an  acute  toxic  ingestion  or  overdose.  Most  of  the  literature  supporting  its  use  is  in  the  form  of  case  reports  or  case  series.1  While  available  reports  are  compelling,  the  indications  for  whole  bowel  irrigation  are  mostly  theoretical  and  will  be  refined  as  more  extensive  data  become  available.  The  role  of  whole  bowel  irrigation  currently  remains  limited.
