The use of esophagostomy tubes in 60 feline patients was evaluated retrospectively. Indications for tube placement, complications associated with placement and management, duration of treatment, and change in patient body weight were evaluated. Hepatic disease was the most common indication for tube placement. A minor complication associated with the surgical technique for tube placement was observed in three cases. Inflammation or infection of the tube site, swelling of the head, or vomition of the tube were observed complications during management in 19 cases. Vomiting occurred and was a complicating factor in nine cases. The average duration of tube placement was 23 days, and most patients maintained or gained weight while being fed through their esophagostomy tubes.
对60只猫科动物患者使用食管造口管的情况进行了回顾性评估。评估了置管指征、与置管及管理相关的并发症、治疗持续时间以及患者体重变化。肝脏疾病是最常见的置管指征。3例观察到与置管手术技术相关的轻微并发症。在管理过程中,19例出现了管周炎症或感染、头部肿胀或管子吐出等并发症。9例出现呕吐,且呕吐是一个复杂因素。平均置管时间为23天,大多数患者通过食管造口管喂食时体重维持不变或增加。
