Dobhoff tube, which is a small bore NG tube with a weight at the end intended to pull it by gravity during insertion. The name "Dobhoff" refers to its inventors, surgeons Dr. Robert Dobbie and Dr. James Hoffmeister, who invented the tube in 1975.
A Miller–Abbott tube is a tube used to treat obstructions in the small intestine through intubation. [1] It was developed in 1934 by William Osler Abbott and Thomas Grier Miller . The device is around 3 metres (9.8 ft) [ 2 ] long and has a distal balloon at one end.
A gastric feeding tube (G-tube or "button") is a tube inserted through a small incision in the abdomen into the stomach and is used for long-term enteral nutrition. One type is the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube which is placed endoscopically. The position of the endoscope can be visualized on the outside of the person's abdomen ...
Chest tube have an end hole (proximal, toward the patient) and a series of side holes. The number of side holes is generally 6 on most chest tubes. The length of tube that has side holes is the effective drainage length (EDL). In chest tubes designed for pediatric heart surgery, the EDL is shorter, generally by only having 4 side holes. [17]
This method uses electric current to cauterize the tube, but also allows radiating current to further damage the tubes as it spreads from the coagulation site. The tubes may also be transected after cauterization. [26] The ten year pregnancy rate is estimated at 7.5 pregnancies per 1000 procedures performed. [5]
It consists of a cuffed, double-lumen tube that is inserted through the patient's mouth to secure an airway and enable ventilation.Generally, the distal tube (tube two, clear) enters the esophagus, where the cuff is inflated and ventilation is provided through the proximal tube (tube one, blue) which opens at the level of the larynx.
There are two designs: end-window tubes and side-window tubes. End window tubes usually have "transmission target" which is thin enough to allow X-rays to pass through the target (X-rays are emitted in the same direction as the electrons are moving.) In one common type of end-window tube, the filament is around the anode ("annular" or ring ...
Due to improved surgical instruments and technique, women with paramesonephric duct anomalies can have normal sexual relations. Through the use of Vecchietti and Mclndoe procedures, women can carry out their sexual activity. [9] On another note, many other surgical advances have tremendously improved fertility chances as well as obstetric outcomes.
