A disposable gastric lavage assembly includes at least one fluid receiving container having an upper end and a lower end, a first self-sealing port located in a region of the upper end, and a second self-sealing port located in a region of the lower end. A flexible tubing is provided that has at least first and second ends, with the second end being connectable to one of a nasogastric and orogastric adapter located within a nose or mouth, respectively, of a patient. At least one breaching device is connected to the first end of the tubing for breaching a selected one of the self-sealing ports so that an interior of the container is in fluid communication with an interior of the tubing. A method is also proposed that utilizes the assembly for performing a lavage on a patient.
