Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Bowel obstruction, which is caused by various diseases, can follow a critical course, such as rupture of the intestine, sepsis, and multi-organ failure, without adequate treatment. A long tube is placed for the purpose of decompression of the obstructed intestine by aspiration of the intestinal contents, leading to favorable outcomes including a decrease in edema, improvement of the circulation of the involved intestine, and correction of intestinal kinking.
Although long-tube insertion is widely used in clinical practice, it is sometimes difficult to intubate the small bowel with a long tube, resulting in long procedure time, severe patient distress, and increased exposure to X-ray when the procedure is performed under fluoroscopy.
We conducted a prospective randomized controlled trial to evaluate a novel technique for long-tube insertion, namely, a ropeway method employing a guidewire, placed by transnasal ultrathin endoscopy, in the treatment of bowel obstruction.

Maneuver

Interventions/Control_1

ILTR (Intervention group):
For local anesthesia, application of a nose drop of naphazolone nitrate and spraying of a mixture of 4% lidocain and 0.1% epinephrine solution (9:1) to the nostrils were performed. Diazepam and/or pentazocine were administered as necessary. The scope (GIF-XP260N; Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) was inserted transnasally with the patient in the left lateral decubitus position. For insertion of the long tube, the patient was kept in the supine position. After aspiration of fluid and air in the stomach via its working channel, the scope was advanced to the duodenum. A guidewire (Jagwire, 0.035 inch, 450 cm long; Boston Scientific, U.S.A) was then inserted via the working channel of the scope into the small bowel beyond the duodenojejunal flexure, which was confirmed fluoroscopically. The scope was withdrawn while the guidewire was kept in place. The guidewire was passed through the tip hole of the long tube (Hydrophilic long tube; Create Medic, Tokyo, Japan) to the most distal side hole (4 cm from the tip). In order to reduce patient pain and friction between the tube and its pathway, lidocain jelly was applied to the tube, and the tube with a splinting guidewire (Create Medic, 1.24 mm, 3500 mm-long) was gently inserted into the naris. When the tube reached the small intestine, the guidewire for guidance was removed and the tube was advanced as anally as possible to the dilated bowel with postural change of the patient and transabdominal manipulation. Finally, the positioning balloon was inflated and the splinting guidewire was withdrawn.

Interventions/Control_2

Conventional long-tube insertion under fluoroscopy (Control group):
In the conventional method, a long tube was inserted under fluoroscopic guidance without endoscopy. When intubation of the small bowel was unsuccessful even with postural change of the patient and transabdominal manipulations, a conventional endoscope for esophagogastroduodenoscopy was inserted perorally to facilitate passage of the tube through the pylorus. Insertion of the tube as deep as possible was attempted even after it had reached the duodenojejunal flexure.

Results

The mean (+/- SD) duration of the procedure in the successful cases in the ILTR group and the C group was 16.1 +/- 5.6 minutes and 26.4 +/- 13.8 minutes, respectively (P = 0.010). The success rate was 100% in the ILTR group and 88% in the C group (P = 0.48). The mean X-ray exposure time and intensity of patient distress were 16.4 +/- 8.7 minutes vs. 33.2 +/- 12.3 minutes (P < 0.001) and 2.6 +/- 0.7 vs. 3.7 +/- 1.2 (P = 0.016), respectively.
