Use of Simultaneous Nasogastric and Nasojejunal Tubes for Proximal Intestinal Atresias - A Preliminary Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Meeting the caloric needs of the baby in surgically repaired proximal intestinal atresias is a challenge. Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is not readily available everywhere, especially in the resource crunched set-ups, besides sepsis being a prohibitive accompaniment of TPN. Technical difficulties of performing feeding jejunostomy in a small baby, along with added complications of a second surgical procedure deter its use for enteral feeds. We describe novel use of two nasal tubes, one in stomach for drainage and other being a trans-anastomotic nasojejunal tube for enteral feeding.

متن کاملComparison of using cooled and regular-temperature nasogastric tubes on the success of nasogastric intubation
Background: Successful nasogastric intubation is defined as “correct placement of the tube with minimum number of attempts” which is an important issue in nasogastric intubation. Due to controversies in the use of cold tubes in nasogastric tube insertion, need for research in this area seems necessary. Aim: To compare the effect of using cold versus regular-temperature nasogastric tubes on succ...

OBJECTIVE Current guidelines recommend enteral nutrition in critically ill adults; however, poor gastric motility often prevents nutritional targets being met. We hypothesized that early nasojejunal nutrition would improve the delivery of enteral nutrition. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, controlled trial. SETTING Seventeen multidisciplinary, closed, medical/surgical, intensive care units i...
