TOW CASES OF TUBE FEEDING CERVICAL ESOPHAGOSTOMY

Esophagostomy for percutaneous tube feeding in diaphragm paralysis

PTEG is a minimally invasive method to access the stomach or small intestine via an esophagostomy. It is used as an alternative to nasogastric tubing for gastric decompression or long-term enteral nutrition when gastrostomy is not suitable, such as in patients with total gastrectomy or advanced gastric cancer.

A pilot study to assess tolerability of early enteral nutrition via esophagostomy tube feeding in dogs with severe acute pancreatitis.

BACKGROUND The putative role of the gut in amplification of systemic inflammation in acute pancreatitis is gaining credence, and intraluminal nutrition has been shown to decrease inflammation in experimental models of pancreatitis. Prepyloric feeding often is used in people with acute pancreatitis, but has not been evaluated in dogs. HYPOTHESIS Early intervention with enteral nutrition (EN) d...

Tube Feeding in Children.

Enteral tube feeding (TF) is an important part of the care of acutely ill children as well as an essential technique to deliver nutrition to children who have chronic conditions. However, the techniques of TF are neither a part of medical school courses nor specifically taught in pediatric residency programs. Thus, learning how to initiate, monitor, moderate, and transition TF is often learned ...

Placement of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy feeding tube via a cervical pharyngocutaneous fistula.

Enteral tube feeding in adults.

Enteral tube feeding is usually a relatively straightforward method of nutritional support, and should be facilitated by a multiprofessional team. For short-term use (<4 weeks) a fine bore feeding nasogastric tube is indicated but if longer term feeding is required then a gastrostomy is appropriate, usually inserted endoscopically (a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube). The most common se...
