how long do you delay for elective case like a port placement? Note: J tube not G tube.
For a J tube? As in, placed in the jejunum, a foot or so post-pyloric?8 hrs
Post-pyloric = empty stomach = go.
8 Hours. Just because its post-pyloric doesnt mean the Pyloric is working .. Not taking a chance with that nonsense for a completely elective case.
The data do not support this assertion. The small handful of studies that have addressed this (using dyed tube feeds or some other tagged food particle and tracking aspirations) have not shown a difference between gastric and post-pyloric feeds.Post-pyloric = empty stomach = go.
