TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - Transanal intestinal evisceration following suction from an uncovered swimming pool drain: case report JO - Journal of trauma A1 - Hultman, C. S. A1 - Morgan, R. SP - 843 EP - 847 VL - 37 IS - 5 N2 - Transanal suction from a swimming pool drain can result in intestinal evisceration. We report the eighth such case, followed by a literature review, description of the mechanism, and management guidelines. This bizarre injury, which has devastating consequences for the children involved, is completely preventable by installation of semi-permanent, anti-vortex grates.
