| Popis: | The initial clinical experience with the use of a triple lumen long tube designed for gastrointestinal decompression and enteroclysis is reported in 150 patients. Based on clinical observations, this tube is effective in suctioning retained gastric and intestinal fluid but requires frequent irrigation of the sump port for effective decompression of distended small bowel. In all patients with a preexisting nasogastric tube, the replacement by the decompression/enteroclysis tube was considered more comfortable by the patients. Successful placement of the tube in the jejunum was achieved in 147 of 150 consecutive patients on the initial attempt. The use of this tube obviates dual intubations for decompression and enteroclysis, the attendant discomfort on the patient, and it expedites subsequent performance of enteroclysis if needed. The complications reported with other long intestinal tubes were not observed with this device. |
