Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A patient with recurrent intestinal obstruction and jejunocutaneous fistula was referred for treatment of the latter condition. Management with total parenteral nutrition was complicatied by bacteremia. Subsequently, a double-lumen tube was passed via an existing gastrostomy for purposes of aspirating above the level of the fistula and infusing appropriate nutrients and fluids distally. A period of marked clinical improvement was followed by increased fistula output and evidence of intestinal obstruction secondary to gaseous distention of a sealed latex terminal balloon which was retrieved only after percutaneous puncture. The unusual complication of prolonged intestinal intubation is discussed with special reference to this nonsurgical method of managing the impacted balloon and tube. Factors affecting balloon distention are discussed and the necessity of venting intestinal balloons reemphasized. |
