Abstract
Simple unweighted fine bore feeding tubes have been used by our Nutritional Support Team for routine nasogastric feeding with success in large numbers of patients. Three clinical situations where mercury or tungsten weighted tubes offer advantages over fine bore tubes have been defined. Significant advantages in patients with concurrent endotracheal intubation, gastric atony and severe oesophageal stricturing are described.Entities:
