BackgroundEnteral nutrition should be restored immediately after trauma, acute lesion, or surgical intervention. Nutrition through nasogastric tubes is often not feasible in patients in the posttraumatic state in medical intensive care units because of recurrent episodes of gastroesophageal reflux and subsequent aspiration due to gastric paresis. Placement of nasojejunal tubes with available techniques is unreliable.MethodsWe developed a new combined catheter system for jejunal delivery and simultaneous drainage of gastric juice (Cath-in-Cath, PreOx-RS, Germany).ConclusionIn this article, this new tube system is presented. The safety and excellent efficacy of the novel system for enteral nutrition therapy are reported in the first series of patients worldwide.
