Gastrostomy Tube Placement Without Nasogastric Tube: A Retrospective Evaluation in 85 Patients
2012
Purpose
Our study evaluated techniques for percutaneous gastrostomy (G)-tube placement without the use of a nasogastric (NG) tube. Instead, direct puncture of a physiologic air bubble or effervescent-enhanced gastric bubble distention was performed in patients with upper digestive tract obstruction (UDTO) or psychological objections to NG tubes.
