Stomach tube Use of a double-lumen stomach tube may be justified by several factors (1.) detection of blood in the stomach, (2.) assessment of haemostasis, (5.) irrigation of the stomach to improve visibility during subsequent endoscopy, and (4.) permanent drip for clearing blood residues from the intestine to prevent the development of hepatic encephalopathy, (s. p. 277)...

Hydroxylated PCBs are retained in lung, Uver and kidney tissue, which may be explained by the blood residues in these tissues. It is important to note that the concentration of the 4-OH metabolite of PCB 105 in rat liver or lung is similar to that of PCB 153, one of the most persistent and abundant PCB congeners. Persistent 3-OH PCB metabolites have also been identified at lower levels. In general, the persistent OH-PCBs have chlorine atoms on the adjacent carbons to the OH-group and contain five or more chlorine atoms. 

Luminol Crime-scene investigators use luminol to visuaHze blood residue. Research luminol and determine its chemical formula and percent composition.
