Intubation routes for enteroclysis.
The transnasal and peroral intubation routes for enteroclysis examination are described. A survey of 22 patients who underwent enteroclysis by both approaches revealed an overwhelming preference for the transnasal route. Transnasal intubation for enteroclysis is rapidly performed with adequate catheter control and in most patients is associated with less discomfort compared with the peroral route.
