Resident-Driven Guideline to Reduce Iatrogenic Pneumothoraxes From Small-Bore Feeding Tubes: A Quality and Safety Improvement Project.
Am J Med Qual
January 2025
Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC.
Small-bore feeding tubes (SBFT) in vulnerable patients carry a risk of iatrogenic pneumothorax by misplacement into the lung. This institution noted a series of iatrogenic pneumothoraxes caused by the placement of these devices. A resident-led, multidisciplinary team developed a hospital guideline through a consensus-driven process.

Various types of water can be used to flush enteral feeding tubes, which raises the question of which type of water is best supported by evidence.
Purpose: The aims of this quality improvement project were to examine the evidence on the use of tap water instead of sterile water for enteral tube flushes and to implement the use of tap water as a safe, cost-effective alternative to sterile water at a multisite oncology institution.

January 2025
Pediatrics, Children's Hospital of Michigan, Detroit, United States.
Objective: To describe feeding outcomes in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and compare characteristics and outcomes in groups discharged home on oral, total/partial nasogastric, and gastrostomy-tube feedings.
Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center cohort study of infants diagnosed with moderate or severe HIE using standard criteria who underwent cooling from January 2017 to June 2022. Data were abstracted from hospital course as well as until 6 months follow-up.

Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada; Division of General and Thoracic Surgery, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, USA; Cincinnati Center of Excellence for Intestinal Rehabilitation (CinCEIR), Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, OH, USA. Electronic address:
Background & Aims: Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) represent one of the most common and serious complications in children with intestinal failure (IF). This study aimed to assess if there is an association between the use of enteral devices (feeding tubes and stomas) with rate of CLABSI after adjusting for clinically relevant factors. Second, association between enteral devices with time to first CLABSI event was evaluated.

Division of Gastroenterology, Department of Medicine, BronxCare Health System, Clinical Affiliate of Mt Sinai Health Systems and Academic Affiliate of Icahn School of Medicine, 10C, 1650 Selwyn Avenue, Bronx, NY, 10457, USA.
Background: Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) tube insertion, a routine procedure for long-term enteral nutrition, serves as a crucial intervention for patients who are incapable of tolerating oral intake or meeting adequate nutritional requirements. PEG tube placement carries complications like bleeding and infection. Impact of PEG tubes on the 30-day and long-term mortality in HIV patients is unknown.
