AI Article Synopsis

  • A study compared oxygen saturation levels in 10 stable newborns before and after feeding through orogastric and nasogastric tubes.
  • Oxygen saturations were significantly lower when using nasogastric tubes and remained low during feeding.
  • There were no issues with placing the orogastric tube, and no babies experienced milk aspiration.

Article Abstract

Oxygen saturations were compared, 10 min before and 10, 20 and 30 min after orogastric and nasogastric feeds, in 10 stable newborns. The mean saturations were significantly lower with mere passage of nasogastric tube and continued to be so during feeds. There was no difficulty in securing the orogastric tube and no baby aspirated milk.

Objectives: The objective of the study is to describe a surgical technique of intestinal foreign body retrieval without gastrotomy using an endoscopic grasper and digital manipulation, and to compare short-term outcomes with patients who had similar obstructive intestinal foreign bodies removed via gastrotomy.

Materials And Methods: Medical records of dogs and cats with intestinal foreign bodies that underwent treatment with either the orogastric retrieval technique or gastrotomy between November 2021 and July 2023 were extracted. A comparison of the short-term outcomes was performed between the techniques.

This study investigated the effects of feeding an amylase-enabled corn silage (ACS) on the performance and enteric gas emissions in lactating dairy cows. Following a 2-wk covariate period, 48 mid-lactation Holstein cows were assigned to 1 of 3 treatments in a 10-wk randomized complete block design experiment. Treatments were diets containing the same proportion of corn silage (40% of dietary DM) as follows: (1) a conventional hybrid corn silage control (CON), (2) ACS replacing the control silage (ADR), and (3) the ADR diet replacing soybean hulls with ground corn grain to achieve the same dietary starch concentration as CON (ASR).

Background: Gastric tube insertion is necessary to support early enteral feeding of newborns during their neonatal intensive care stay. This frequent and invasive procedure is known to be painful. Very few analgesic techniques (sweet solutions, sucking, swaddling, and skin-to-skin contact) are available to reduce the pain caused by orogastric tube insertion procedure.

Background: Preterm infants (born before 37 weeks' gestation) are often unable to co-ordinate sucking, swallowing, and breathing for oral feeding because of their immaturity. In such cases, initial nutrition is provided by orogastric or nasogastric tube feeding. Feeding intolerance is common and can delay attainment of full enteral and sucking feeds, prolonging the need for nutritional support and the hospital stay.

Background: We intend to investigate the association of bolus orogastric tube (BOG) and nipple bottle (N) feedings with postnatal growth in very premature neonates (VPN: gestational age between 28 and 33 weeks).

Material And Methods: The days of life (DOL) to achieve full combined oral and gastric enteral nutrition (FEN) and attain body weight (BW) of 2200 g (Wt22) and the length of hospitalization (LOH) were retrospectively associated with clinical and BOG and N feeding-related variables via multivariate regression analyses. Correlations were performed to ascertain the strength of associations.
