Improving enteral nutrition in patients requiring neurological intensive care unit care: A retrospective study on a novel bedside nasointestinal tube placement technique

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study aimed to develop and assess a bedside nasojejunal tube placement technique designed for resource‐limited settings to address the specific challenges of enteral nutrition (EN) delivery in neurocritical care patients, particularly those at high risk of reflux and aspiration. The technique sought to overcome the drawbacks of

Acute mesenteric ischemia diagnosed via computed tomography in a dog following vehicular blunt force trauma: a Case Report

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) refers to a group of vascular disorders that disrupt intestinal blood flow, resulting in intestinal ischemia and necrosis if left untreated. In both humans and dogs, this condition appears to be rare but deadly.

Direct Peritoneal Resuscitation Improves Mesenteric Perfusion by Nitric Oxide Dependent Pathways [PDF]

, 2017
Background Direct peritoneal resuscitation (DPR) has been shown to increase survival after intestinal ischemia and reperfusion injury (I/R). We have previously appreciated that minimum essential medium (MEM), a synthetic cell culture medium with ...

Exploratory Laparotomy After Routine Cardiac Surgery: Results From 17,000 Patients

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Exploratory laparotomy is rare after open‐heart surgery, and it was performed for gastrointestinal complications that occurred in the context of other severe postoperative complications. Several factors were associated with the need for exlap, including increasing age, pre‐existing renal and vascular disease, and pre‐ and post‐operative shock. ABSTRACT

Unplanned Healthcare Utilization After Emergency Laparotomy: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Readmissions following emergency laparotomy are frequent, and mainly a result of late‐onset postoperative complications, worsening of pre‐existing comorbidities, and non‐compliance with care instructions. This review aimed to describe current evidence on readmission after emergency laparotomy.
