Abstract:
Objective To investigate the feasibility of contrast-enhanced ultrasound-directed nosejujunium tube placement.Methods Twenty-four patients hospitalized in ICU who need support from enteral feeding were collected for this study.Flocare spiral nose-jejunium tube was placed into stomach with guide wire.Real-time ultrasound was used after injection of SonoVue for monitoring the passage of feeding tube from pylorus to duodenum-jejunum segment which was pushed down if without strong resistant force.Finnally,the guide wire was drawed out and enteral feeding was conducted with ascertainment of abdominal X-ray photograph for suitable site in intestinal tract.Results Contrast ultrasound -directed nose-jejunum tube placement procedure was conducted in 24 cases.Twenty-one cases (87.5%) was accomplished successfully,and 3 cases (12.5%) was failed.No special change was observed in the procedure of all patients.Conclusions Contrast ultrasound -directed nose-jejunum tube placement procedure can be regarded as a convenient,safe,and reliable insertion technology,which provide an effective means for early enteral nutrition for critical patients.
