Clinical efficiency of new medical magnifying scope-guided visual nasointestinal tube placement in critically ill patients
Objective To observe the clinical efficiency of new medical magnifying scope-guided visual nasointestinal tube placement in critically ill patients.Methods A total of 54 critically ill patients undergoing nasointestinal tube placement were divided into two groups.A blind-insertion was performed in group C(29 cases).The visual nasointestinal tube placement was performed with new medical magnifying scope in group A(25 cases).The time for tube placement,success rate of the first-time placement,feeding delay time and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results There were no significant differences in the time for tube placement and incidence of complications between the two groups(P>0.05).The success rate of the first-time placement was higher in group A than that in group C(P<0.05).The feeding delay time in group C was longer than that in group A(P<0.01).Four patients in group C experienced varying degrees of complications,whereas only one patient in group A had a mild nasal hemorrhage.Conclusion The new medical magnifying scope-guided visual nasointestinal tube placement has a higher success rate,allows for immediate feeding,and meets the needs of critically ill patients.
