Sengstaken-Blakemore tube in critical upper gastrointestinal bleeding: Implications for aeromedical retrieval. Sengstaken-Blakemore tubes (SBTs) are rarely used in Australia, because of improved access to endoscopy and interventional radiology, as well as overall lower rate of variceal haemorrhage from improvements in primary prophylaxis. SBT's use is associated with significant rate of serious

Just-in-time clinical video review improves successful placement of Sengstaken-Blakemore tube by emergency medicine resident physicians: A randomized control simulation-based study. Successful completion of life-saving procedures may benefit from a concise just-in-time (JIT) intervention. Video is an optimal medium for JIT training, but currently available video-based references are not optimized for a JIT format, especially in time-pressured situations prior to high-risk clinical contexts. We aimed to create and evaluate the efficacy of a brief video review of emergent Sengstaken-Blakemore tube (SBT) insertion for acutely decompensating variceal hemorrhage when used just prior to clinical performance in a simulated setting. We created a less than 3-minute audio-optional JIT training

Tracheal injury characterized by subcutaneous emphysema and dyspnea after improper placement of a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube: A case report. Tracheal injury characterized by subcutaneous emphysema and dyspnea can occur following the use of a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube. Should tracheal injury occur, it may be possible to manage resultant airway obstruction with a tracheal stent. We describe the case of a 51-year-old patient who developed a tracheal injury when a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube was inadvertently inserted into the patient's trachea. Liver cirrhosis, gastric-fundus variceal bleeding, tracheal injury. Polyglycol and tissue glue were injected intravenously, and endoscopic variceal ligation was performed. A Sengstaken-Blakemore tube was used to stop the bleeding. A covered tracheal

Regulating migration of esophageal stents - management using a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube: A case report and review of literature Stent migration, which causes issues in stent therapy for esophageal perforations, can counteract the therapeutic effects and lead to complications. Therefore, techniques to regulate stent migration are important and lead to effective stent therapy. Here, in these cases , we placed a removable fully covered self-expandable metallic stent (FSEMS) in a 52-year-old man with suture failure after surgery to treat Boerhaave syndrome, and in a 53-year-old man with a perforation in the lower esophagus due to acute esophageal necrosis. At the same time, we nasally inserted a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube (SBT), passing it through the stent lumen. By inflating a gastric balloon

Esophageal Endoscopic Vacuum Therapy with Enteral Feeding Using a Sengstaken-Blakemore Tube Early diagnosis followed by primary repair is the best treatment for spontaneous esophageal perforation. However, the appropriate management of esophageal leakage after surgical repair is still controversial. Recently, the successful adaptation of vacuum-assisted closure therapy, which is well established with continuous enteral feeding using a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube.

Outcomes of patients treated with Sengstaken-Blakemore tube for uncontrolled variceal hemorrhage The aim of this study was to investigate the mortality, bleeding control rate, and their associated predictors in patients treated with Sengstaken-Blakemore (SB) tube for uncontrolled variceal hemorrhage associated with hemodynamic instability or failure of endoscopic treatment. The clinical data

Novel use of a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube during a neck exploration of a carotid injury: A case report. Penetrating neck trauma can injure the major blood vessels, airway, gastrointestinal system, and neurological system. We present a case where a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube was emergently placed during surgical exploration of a stab wound to the neck to tamponade bleeding until surgical control

guide placement of the balloon to help overcome this challenge. We describe four cases in which the bougie was successfully utilized as an external stylet to place a tamponade balloon (3 Minnesota tubes, 1 Sengstaken-Blakemore tube) without any apparent complication. The straight end of the bougie is inserted approximately 0.5 cm into the most proximal of the gastric aspiration ports. The tube

clinicians. Balloon tamponade is intended for hemodynamically unstable patients with massive gastrointestinal bleeding and inability to perform endoscopy, failed endoscopy, delay in endoscopy, or the need to stabilize before transfer. There are 3 main tamponade devices: the Linton-Nachlas tube, the Sengstaken-Blakemore tube, and the Minnesota tube. Each tamponade device has some unique features including

obturation with glueThis involves embolisation of varices with a glue-like substance (N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate).It is particularly good for gastric or gastro-oesophageal variceal bleeding.However, there is a risk of embolisation to the lung, spleen or brain.Balloon tube tamponade (Sengstaken-Blakemore tube)[15]Balloon tamponade should be considered as a temporary salvage treatment for uncontrolled variceal haemorrhage[1] .The Sengstaken-Blakemore tube (preferably kept in the fridge to stiffen rubber and make passage easier) is inserted through the mouth and into the stomach.The gastric balloon is inflated with air and the gastric balloon is then pulled up against the oesophagogastric junction, compressing submucosal varices.The Sengstaken-Blakemore tube also contains an oesophageal balloon which is only

is successful in half of patients. If unsuccessful, it still provides time in which the patient can be stabilized before other surgical techniques are employed. * * A Foley catheter with a large bulb (#24 Foley catheter with a 30 mL balloon or a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube) can be used as an alternative to uterine packing. [17] .This tamponading technique can be highly effective, is inexpensive, requires

of psychological factors in the pathogenesis of IBS. The present study included 31 patients with IBS and 20 healthy controls. Cerebral function was assessed using fMRI. During imaging, a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube was placed within the rectum approximately 10 cm from the anus, following which gas was rapidly injected into the airbag using a 150-ml syringe. Images were obtained at 40 ml, 80 ml, and 120 ml

and the tumor decreased in size in partial response. The local tumor recurred 8 months after the first stereotactic body radiotherapy, and he was re-irradiated with a second stereotactic body radiotherapy of 50 Gy in 4 fractions. A Sengstaken-Blakemore tube was inserted below his diaphragm by laparoscopic surgery before the second stereotactic body radiotherapy in order to reduce the stomach dose by keeping
