The tube (12) has a wall which surrounds a plurality of longitudinally extending lumens. A suction lumen (22) is connected to a suction means located exteriorly in relation to the patient. There are one or more pores capable of delivering irrigation fluid and for syphoning the contents of the patient's intestine. An irrigation lumen (24) is connected to irrigation means (32) located exteriorly in relation to the patient. There are one or more openings extending from the suction lumen (22) to the irrigation lumen (24) for ducting irrigation fluid or gastrointestinal content and for avoiding plugging of the pores by particulate matter or by a stomach lining when the stomach is aspirated. ?
