Gastrointestinal system
Published in David A Lisle, Imaging for Students, 2012
For enteroclysis, a nasogastric tube is passed into the stomach and with the aid of a steering wire is then guided through the duodenum to the duodenojejunal flexure. A mixture of barium with either water or methyl cellulose is injected rapidly through the tube into the small bowel giving a double-contrast effect. Enteroclysis has largely been replaced in modern practice by CT or magnetic resonance (MR) enterography (see Section 4.5.1 below), as well as a variety of endoscopic techniques including wireless capsule enteroscopy, push enteroscopy, and double- and single-balloon enteroscopy.

If the patient’s X-ray examination demonstrates a ‘life-threatening’ or unexpected appearance, e.g. a nasogastric tube positioned in the lung rather than the stomach, the radiographer has a duty of care to the patient and the referrer. The ward and clinician should be informed immediately.

The primary outcome of the study was the difference in the time to achieve effective airway between the Baska and ETT groups undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The time to achieve effective airway was defined as the time from picking up the airway device, inserting the device, and the first occurrence of a square-waveform on the capnogram. The number of attempts required for the proper placement of the Baska Mask or ETT, ease of insertion, and pharyngolaryngeal complications were recorded as the secondary outcomes. A 14-Fr nasogastric tube (Ryle’s tube, Hospitech Manufacturing Services Sdn Bhd, Shah Alam, Malaysia) was inserted along the esophagus into the stomach in both the groups. Tube placement was confirmed by auscultation for injected air over the epigastrium and aspiration of gastric contents.
