2021年2月23日 · The gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) (also known as the esophagogastric junction) is the part of the gastrointestinal tract where the esophagus and stomach are joined. The GEJ is normally mostly intra-abdominal and is 3-4 cm in length.

2022年4月26日 · Nasogastric (NG) tube position on chest x-ray should be assessed following initial placement and on subsequent radiographs. This is a summary article; we have a more in-depth reference article NGT.

The PURELL CXR REDIFOAM™ system is ideal for high-traffic facilities. The high-performance, top-fill fixture eliminates the hassle and hazards of removing panels and crawling under counters to change out soap cartridges.

If aspiration of gastric fluid following placement of an nasogastric (NG) tube is unsuccessful, then a chest X-ray can be used to help determine tube position. Oesophagus anatomy. A correctly positioned NG tube passes vertically down the oesophagus into the stomach.

2017年4月1日 · To confirm an NG tube is positioned safely, all of the following criteria should be met: The chest X-ray viewing field should include the upper oesophagus and extend to below the diaphragm. The NG tube should remain in the midline down to the level of the diaphragm. The NG tube should bisect the carina.

Checking nasogastric (NG) tube position by X-ray is too late to prevent 1.5% of blind tube placements entering the lung and results in delays to feeding and drugs. We audit the safety of the tube position and delay incurred by X-ray.

2025年3月1日 · This is the most common type of hiatus hernia (~90%). The gastro-oesophageal junction (GOJ) is usually displaced >2 cm above the oesophageal hiatus. The oesophageal hiatus is often abnormally widened to 3-4 cm (the upper limit of normal is 1.5 cm).

Distal edge of tumour to GOJ Collapsible More detail The gastro-oesophageal junction occurs where tubular oesophagus meets wider opening stomach sac usually identified by the upper limit of gastric rugal folds (squamo-columnar junction Z line).

Critical consensus was achieved: (1) definition for the GOJ, (2) definition of the GOJZ spanning 1 cm proximal and distal to the GOJ as defined by the end of palisade vessels was accepted based on the anatomical distribution of cardiac type gland, (3) chemical and bacterial (Helicobacter pylori) factors as the primary causes of inflammation ...
