title: Silicone elastomer for nasojejunal intubation and central venous cannulation in neonates.
abstract: Modifications are described to two techniques using silicone elastomer tubing in neonatal nutrition. The first enables nasojejunal intubation to be performed easily for feeding by this route. The second provides a central venous line for parenteral alimentation. These modifications are suggested as improvements to the original techniques described.
