Silicone elastomer for nasojejunal intubation and central venous cannulation in neonates.
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.
