From: A novel quick transendoscopic enteral tubing in mid-gut: technique and training with video
Success rate (%) | Tubing time(min) | Advantages | Disadvantages | |
---|---|---|---|---|
TET | 98.8 | 4.2 | Endoscopic view, time saving, no need of switch tube from mouth to nasal orifice, no need of confirmation by X-ray | Interventional endoscopy |
17–68 | – | Safe and less cost | Time-consuming, low success rate, need confirmation of the location | |
84–96 | 14.9–17.0 | Safe and less cost | Time-consuming, X-ray exposure | |
43–98 | 6.2–20.0 | Operation by trained nurses bedside, no need of fasting | Time consuming, the evidence for altered upper GI anatomy after surgery is scarce | |
36–100 | 6.6–28.0 | Under endoscopic view | Interventional endoscopy, time consuming, tube location changing, switching tube frommouth to nasal orifice |
