Abstract
The utility of jejunal feeding in critically ill patients is well accepted.1-4 There are multiple techniques for placing jejunal feeding tubes, including surgical jejunostomy, direct percutaneous enterojejunostomy, passing a jejunal extension through a PEG (PEG-J), and nasojejunal (NJ) placement. Inadvertent withdrawal of the tube during scope removal and other complications during the placement of a jejunal feeding tube can lead to a frustrating experience for the endoscopist. We describe our experience with a technique that may ease the endoscopic placement of either NJ or PEG-J tubes.
