Abstract:
Objective To compare the efficiencies of enteral nutrition with nasogastric tube with that of enteral nutrition with endoscopic gastrostomy tube in ICU long-term bedridden patients. Methods A total of 6 patients who were admitted in our ICU between January 2008 and September 2009 were enrolled in this study. The expected completion of daily calorie supply, completion of total volume of nutrient fluid feeding, nutrient fluid backstreaming condition, and incidence rate of tube obstruction were compared between those supported with nasogastric tube and endoscopic gastrostomy tube. Results The completion of daily calorie supply and completion of total volume of nutrient fluid feeding were significantly superior in patients who were supported with endoscopic gastrostomy tube than those with nasogastric tube (P = 0. 002 and P = 0. 008, respectively). In addition, nutrient fluid backstreaming condition and incidence rate of tube obstruction were significantly lower than with nasogastric tube (P= 0. 011 and P = 0. 021, respectively). Conclusion Enteral nutrition with endoscopic gastrostomy tube is more efficient in reaching the nutrition support target than with nasogastric tube.
