New procedures. Improved technique for placement of intestinal feeding tube with the fibreoptic endoscope.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A feeding tube can be rapidly introduced into the small intestine through a makeshift 'external channel' of the fibreoptic endoscope. To prevent dislodgement of the feeding tube upon withdrawal of the endoscope, the former may be stabilized by means of the biopsy forceps introduced through its regular channel.

Background: There is some demand for nasogastric tube insertion in unconscious or ICU patients. Nasogastric tubes are generally made of flexible plastic materials, prone to twisting and deviation by the tracheal tube, when passing through the pharynx and esophageal opening, making it difficult to insert the NG-tube properly. We hypothesized that NG-tube insertion with help of guidewire can sign...

متن کاملPercutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy using 10-cc syringe tubes for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients with limited mouth opening.
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is the most common method of delivering long-term enteral feeding to patients who are unable to take adequate nutrition by mouth [1]. We sometimes encounter patients for whom it is difficult to install the mouthpiece because of limitations of their mouth opening, such as in patients with neuromuscular disorders. In such cases we had tried transnasal ins...
متن کاملElectromagnetic guided bedside or endoscopic placement of nasoenteral feeding tubes in surgical patients (CORE trial): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND Gastroparesis is common in surgical patients and frequently leads to the need for enteral tube feeding. Nasoenteral feeding tubes are usually placed endoscopically by gastroenterologists, but this procedure is relatively cumbersome for patients and labor-intensive for hospital staff. Electromagnetic (EM) guided bedside placement of nasoenteral feeding tubes by nurses may reduce patie...
