Journal Article
Efficacy of a gastric tube insertion guide for insertion of a nasogastric tube: a prospective, randomized controlled clinical study
2023
Overview
Purpose
We studied whether a newly available gastric tube insertion guide (Fuji Medical, Tokyo, Japan) was effective in insertion of a nasogastric tube.
Methods
Sixty anesthetized patients were randomly allocated to three groups, and we attempted to insert a nasogastric tube with a blind technique (Group B), with the lateral neck pressure (Group L), or with the tube guide (Group G). If the insertion failed in Group B or L, its insertion was attempted with the tube guide. Primary outcome measure was the insertion success rate within 300 s.
Results
The success rate in Group G (19 of 20 patients) was significantly higher than Group L (13 of 20 patients) (
P
= 0.04; 95% confidence intervals for difference: 16–44%), and than Group B (11 of 19 patients) (
P
= 0.008; 23–50%). In the 15 patients of Groups B and L, in whom insertion had failed, insertion with the tube guide was successful in 14 patients. There was no significant difference in insertion time between the groups, but in patients in whom insertion was successful, it was significantly longer in Group G (median of 147 s) than in Group L (66 s) (
P
< 0.01) and Group B (46 s) (
P
< 0.01). Minor complications occurred in 2 patients in Group B, 1 in Group L, and 5 in Group G (
P
> 0.05).
Conclusion
We conclude that the gastric tube insertion guide (Fuji Medical, Tokyo, Japan) may be useful when the conventional method of insertion has failed.
