Naso-pharyngeal entrapment. An unusual complication of naso-jejunal feeding tube insertion using a guidewire
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the case of an unusual complication of insertion of a naso-jejunal feeding tube (NJT) using a guidewire, where the guidewire formed an alpha-loop in the naso-pharynx, becoming entrapped after cutting into the soft palate. This required ENT input and a general anaesthetic to rectify the situation.

Naso-jejunal tube insertion - interface between radiology and endoscopy
A survey was performed to identify the practice associated with endoscopic placement of naso-jejunal (NJ) tubes. We had a total of 236 responses, of which 228 responded to the frequency of requesting X-ray after placing NJ tubes. The responses suggested that there was a strong variation in the practice.

Objective: Patients undergoing esophagectomy are typically nutritionally depleted and cannot establish oral feeding for up to a week after surgery. We have investigated the routine use of enteral feeding via a naso-jejunal tube. Methods: Forty consecutive patients undergoing a transthoracic esophagectomy for cancer were randomised to receive enteral feeding or intravenous crystalloid fluids aft...
متن کاملExternal migration of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube through a gastrocutaneous fistula
Complications of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tubes range from simple infections to deleterious effects of tube misplacement [1]. We present a unique case of external migration of a PEG tube through a pre-existing post-gastrostomy gastrocutaneous fistula. A 66-year-old lady was admitted due to a leak around the PEG tube. Following failure of conservative measures, the tube was remo...
متن کاملTroubleshooting for Ureteroscopy Complicated by Unexpected Guidewire Looping and Entrapment
This report presents a bizarre and unusual case of looping and entrapment of a hydrophilic guidewire in the ureter of a 65-year-old woman with a stone in the lower ureter at the time of ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy. We describe endourology maneuvers to remove the retained guidewire. Looping and entrapment of guidewire is a rare complication that urologists may face when they do not follow...
متن کاملNasopharyngeal tube placement in emergency intubated patients with decreased consciousness with a new guidewire: a prospective randomized controlled trial
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...
