An emesis basin is a shallow basin with a kidney-shaped footprint and sloping walls(hence its alternate name, the kidney basin). [...] Contrary to its name, emesis basins are not usually used for vomiting, as the depth, size, and sloping walls all contribute to spilling or splashing the vomit rather than catching it. For this purpose, a plastic bag or wash basin is often preferred [...]. 7, record 1, English, - emesis%20basin
