Experience in Bedside Placement, Clinical Validity, and Cost‐Efficacy of a Self‐Propelled Nasojejunal Feeding Tube

Abstract

Our study demonstrated that bedside insertion of a self-propelling NJT is a safe, cost-effective, and successful technique for postpyloric enteral feeding in at least 73% of the patients, and only 18% of patients could eventually need other placement techniques. It can avoid the need for more aggressive or expensive placement techniques or even PN if we cannot achieve enteral access.
