ANS: C
The surgeon may ask the anesthesia provider to insert a tube during an intraabdominal procedure for one of the following purposes: decompression of the gastrointestinal tract, relief of distention that obstructs the view of the surgical site, measurement of blood loss from gastric hemorrhage, or evacuation of gastric secretions during intestinal anastomosis.
