| | Vomiting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | If the vomiting reflex continues for an extended period of time with no appreciable vomitus, the condition is known as non-productive emesis or dry heaves, which can become painful and debilitating. | | | When a sufficient amount of pressure has been created, the diaphragm transfers the pressure from the chest to the abdomen, and this pressure then results in actual vomiting. | | | Extreme pain, such as intense headache or myocardial infarction (heart attack) |

| | Nausea and Vomiting |
| | Vomiting associated with surgery, radiation therapy, anticancer drugs, alcohol, and morphine can often be treated with another type of drug therapy. | | | Adults caring for sick children need to be aware of these visible signs of dehydration: dry lips and mouth, sunken eyes, rapid breathing or pulse; or in infants, decreased urination, and a sunken fontanelle (soft spot on top of the baby's head). | | | There are several ways to control or relieve nausea; however, if these techniques do not seem to ease the queasiness, consult your doctor. |

| | Vomiting in the Canine |
| | Vomiting is defined as the forceful ejection of gastric and occasionally, proximal small intestine content through the mouth. | | | This usually occurs in 'deep chested' breeds such as German Shepherds and presents as an acute onset condition with a dog trying to vomit but only producing phlegm, not food. | | | This is an ACUTE emergency and immediate surgical care is required. |

| | Frequently Asked Questions about Vomiting |
| | Vomiting on an airplane is a traumatic experience, especially for a child. | | | The key event is when the body has retched enough (built up enough pressure) for vomiting to occur, the diaphragm relaxes, and this transfers the pressure that has built up in the chest to the abdomen, and this pressure then expels the stomach contents through the mouth. | | | Some researchers contend that expulsion of the intestinal content is a necessary part of the vomiting act in itself [since the intestine is where the toxin was detected by the CTZ], and that the movement into the stomach puts it in place for being ejected. |
