Abstract:
In veterinary patients, postgastric feeding is indicated for uncontrollable gastric vomiting, gastroparesis, biliary tract disease, pancreatitis, and for patients at increased risk for aspirating secondary to decreased mentation, prolonged recumbency, or an unprotected airway. Postgastric feeding may be implemented via the placement of a jejunal feeding tube. These tubes can be placed surgically (jejunostomy tubes) or with fluoroscopic or endoscopic guidance. This article will focus on methods of jejunal feeding-tube placement, advantages and disadvantages of the methods described, and complications associated with jejunal feeding.
