Effect of post-pyloric Dobhoff tube retention during gastrojejunostomy for reduction of fluoroscopic time and radiation dose.
Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology : Official Journal of the Turkish Society of Radiology 2023 January 12
The purpose of this study was to determine whether retention of a post-pyloric Dobhoff tube (DHT) in position to serve as a visual guide through the pylorus during gastrojejunostomy (GJ) tube placement results in a reduction in fluoroscopy time, procedure time, and estimated radiation dose. A retrospective study evaluated patients who underwent GJ tube placement or gastric to GJ conversion from January 1, 2017, to April 1, 2021. Demographic and procedural data were collected, and results were evaluated using descriptive statistics and hypothesis testing through an unpaired Student's t-test. Of the 71 GJ tube placements included for analysis, 12 patients underwent placement with a post-pyloric DHT in position, and 59 patients underwent placement without a post-pyloric DHT in position. The mean fluoroscopy time and estimated radiation dose were significantly reduced in patients who underwent GJ tube placement with a post-pyloric DHT in position compared with those without (7.08 min vs. 11.02 min, P = 0.004; 123.12 mGy vs. 255.19 mGy, P = 0.015, respectively). The mean total procedure time was also reduced in patients who underwent GJ tube placement with a post-pyloric DHT in position compared with those who had no post-pyloric DHT, but this finding lacked statistical significance (18.55 min vs. 23.15 min; P = 0.09). Post-pyloric DHT retention can be utilized during GJ tube placement to reduce radiation exposure to both the patient and interventionalist.
