A Modified Method for Blind Bedside Placement of Post-pyloric Feeding Tube.

Efficacy and Safety of a Modified Method for Blind Bedside Placement of Post-pyloric Feeding Tube:a Randomized Controlled Trial

To compare efficacy and safety of a new modified post-pyloric feeding tube bedside catheterization with Corpak 10-10-10 protocol and electromagnetic guided catheterization for treatment of patients with dysphagia and at high-risk of aspiration pneumonia. We conducted a single-center, single-blinded, and randomized controlled clinical trial. A total of 63 patients were treated with the non-gravity type CORFLO gastrointestinal feeding tube between 2017.1 and 2019.1 using different procedures: in the M group, patients underwent modified post-pyloric feeding tube bedside placement; in C group, patients underwent conventional Corpak protocol; in EM group, patients received standard electromagnetic guided tube placement.

  • High-risk status with aspiration pneumonia, including consciousness disorder caused by various diseases, severe dementia, bed rest, gastroesophageal reflux, hiccup, gastric retention, achalasia of pyloric.
  • Can't receive nasogastric tube feeding.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The previous history of upper abdominal surgery.
  • Gastroduodenal ulcer and esophagogastric varices;
  • Severe sinusitis and nasal bone fracture;
  • Patients with recent gastrointestinal bleeding, intestinal obstruction, ischemic bowel disease, and epistaxis;
  • Patients with electromagnetically-guided catheterization should additionally exclude implantable cardiac defibrillator, implantable cardiac pacemaker or diaphragm pacemaker.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
M group
In M group, patients underwent modified post-pyloric feeding tube bedside placement
Modified post-pyloric feeding tube bedside catheterization as an optimized bedside blind post-pyloric tube placement, significantly shortened the time for passing pylorus without causing any severe adverse reactions.
C group
In C group, patients underwent conventional Corpak protocol
Modified post-pyloric feeding tube bedside catheterization as an optimized bedside blind post-pyloric tube placement, significantly shortened the time for passing pylorus without causing any severe adverse reactions.
EM group
In EM group, patients received standard electromagnetic guided tube placement.
Modified post-pyloric feeding tube bedside catheterization as an optimized bedside blind post-pyloric tube placement, significantly shortened the time for passing pylorus without causing any severe adverse reactions.
