2.2.8. Secondary outcome.
edema, bleeding, respiratory distress
EDEMA, BLEEDING, COMPLICATIONS, BENDING
Secondary endpoints will be time required and associated complications. The time required will be recorded from the nasally placed small-bowel feeding tube insertion from the nostril to the calculated length of the tube with the aid of a stopwatch. The insertion times for each attempt will be counted and, in case of failures, the time required for each attempt will be added together.In addition, AEs associated with the insertion techniques (bleeding of the visible mucosa, nasal mucosa edema, in addition to tube bending, twisting, knotting and insertion into the trachea visible on X-ray) will be recorded. It is noteworthy that the occurrence of bleeding will be considered as visible bleeding in the tube extension and nasal or oral mucosa. The analysis of such AEs will be performed immediately at the end of the procedure until radiological confirmation of the tube positioning and previous removal of the guide wire. The radiograph will be performed on the patient bed and the patient will be kept in the same position, in the supine position. If the patient shows signs of respiratory distress during insertion, the procedure will be stopped.
