Microendoscopic nasointestinal feeding tube placement in mechanically ventilated patients with gastroparesis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Small bowel mass lesions (SBML) are a relatively common cause of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB). Their detection has been limited by the inability to endoscopically examine the entire small intestine. This has changed with the introduction of capsule endoscopy (CE) and double balloon enteroscopy (D...
