Pronunciation: [pˌɛɹɪtˈə͡ʊnə͡l tɹansfjˈuːʒən] (IPA)

Peritoneal transfusion is a medical term used to describe the injection of fluid into the abdominal cavity. The word is made up of two parts: "peritoneal" (pronounced pɛrɪtəˈniːəl), which refers to the lining of the abdominal cavity, and "transfusion" (pronounced trænˈsfjuːʒən), which means the transfer of blood or other fluid from one person to another. The correct spelling of this term is important for medical professionals to ensure accurate communication and treatment of patients undergoing this procedure.

PERITONEAL TRANSFUSION Meaning and Definition

1. Peritoneal transfusion is a medical procedure that involves the injection of fluids or substances directly into the peritoneal cavity. The peritoneum is a thin, translucent membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and covers the organs within it. It serves several important functions, such as providing support and protection to the abdominal organs, and acting as a barrier against the spread of infection.

   During a peritoneal transfusion, a sterile solution or medication is introduced into the peritoneal cavity through a catheter, which is a thin tube that is carefully inserted through the abdominal wall. The fluid or substance being infused can vary depending on the specific medical condition being treated. Examples of substances that can be administered by peritoneal transfusion include antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, or dialysis fluid.

   The objective of peritoneal transfusion is to directly deliver the desired treatment to the abdominal organs and tissues, bypassing other routes such as the bloodstream. This procedure can be particularly useful in cases where systemic administration of medication may not be suitable or effective.

   Peritoneal transfusion may be performed in various medical contexts, including the treatment of certain types of infections, ascites (abdominal fluid buildup), certain types of cancers, and renal failure requiring peritoneal dialysis. The procedure is typically conducted under sterile conditions and with close monitoring to ensure the safe and accurate delivery of fluids or substances into the peritoneal cavity.

2. The injection of saline solution or other fluid into the peritoneal cavity whence it is absorbed into the circulation.
