Abstract:
Objective: To explore the application value of bedside nasojejunal feeding tube placement using four steps of ultrasonic-assisted method in critical ill patients. Method: Thirty-three critical ill patients receiving enteral nutrition were enrolled. We adopt four steps of ultrasonic guidance to conduct nasojejunal feeding tube placement. The details were as followed: nasojejunal feeding tube placement within the esophagus, within Gastric body, within After the pylorus, at last the location of nasojejunal feeding tube. Results: The placement of nasojejunal feeding tube was successful in 28 patients, failed in 2 patients. The failure reason include that the false appearance of pylorus through and the lost gastrointestinal motility led to the sticking of nasojejunal feeding tube on arcus major ventriculi and it couldn't enter into gastric antrum and pylorus. Conclusion: The application of nasojejunal feeding tube placement by four steps of ultrasonic-assisted is a novel feeding technique, and it's simple, effective, noninvasive and repeatability procedure with a high success rate and low complications.
