In two newborn infants, morbidity was associated with long-term use of polyvinyl chloride feeding tubes. In one case, a hard, sharp catheter was thought to be responsible for peritonitis. In other, the polyvinyl tube hardened into a coil that could only be extricated by introduction of an intraluminal guide wire and prolonged manipulation under fluoroscopic control. The rigidity acquired by these tubes is thought to present serious potential for morbidity and mortality. Methods and materials appropriate for short-term alimentation should no be presumed appropriate for long-term use, and alternatives should be considered.
在两名新生儿中，发病与长期使用聚氯乙烯喂食管有关。在一个病例中，一根坚硬、尖锐的导管被认为是腹膜炎的病因。在另一个病例中，聚乙烯管硬化成一个线圈，只能通过引入腔内导丝并在荧光镜控制下进行长时间操作才能取出。这些管子获得的硬度被认为具有导致发病和死亡的严重潜在风险。适合短期营养供给的方法和材料不应被假定适用于长期使用，应考虑其他替代方法。
