A term neonate developed respiratory distress, paradoxical cyanosis (relieved by crying) soon after birth. Inability to insert No.5 French infant feeding tube through the nose into the pharynx led to the diagnosis of Bilateral Choanal Atresia , which was confirmed by HRCT Scan of the nose. Insertion of an oropharyngeal tube reduced the respiratory distress. Extensive investigations did not reveal any other congenital anomaly. The baby was treated with Transnasal Surgery.

Urological Emergency

Infant Feeding tube is universally used in Paediatric Patients for many diagnostic as well as therapeutic purposes. Intravesical knotting of IFT is rare but having significant morbidity. We here present such a rare case report in 6 month old patient treated endoscopically. Sometimes it is very difficult to remove knotting with various techniques discussed later, but it may cause more trauma to urethra. There are only few reported cases worldwide about it in few journals. But Endoscopic removal being safe among all. In such Urological Emergency, always early Identification is most important to prevent further complications. As neonate and infant’s urethra is small compared to the available smallest Foley catheter (8Fr), a 5 Fr and 8 Fr feeding tubes are practical alternatives to drain urine from the bladder. Intravesical catheter knotting of small feeding tubes placed as urinary diversion from the bladder is rare. The first case of catheter knotting in a pediatric patient was reported in 1976.

Infant Feeding Tube

ABSTRACTDuring microvascular anastomosis, it is important to maintain the microsurgical field irrigated yet dry so as to achieve a good view of the vessels for approximation. In this method, an infant feeding tube (size 4), with its tip sandwiched between layers of dry gauze and a surgical glove component placed in the anastomotic field and the other end connected to a suction apparatus, is used to maintain the microsurgical field free from flooding. It also has the additional advantage of providing a stable platform for microvascular anastomosis.

Infant Feeding Tube

Introduction: In neonates with an unanticipated difficult airway, there is an increased probability of failed intubation even with highly trained hands while performing direct laryngoscopy. Aims: We describe our experience of using a modified infant feeding tube (IFT) as an indigenous endotracheal tube (ETT) in a series of paediatric surgical patients with congenital subglottic stenosis (SGS). Material and Methods: A retrospective study was performed in our institute from January 2018 to December 2019. ETT with modified 6 and 8 French (Fr) sized IFT’s were used. A stylet obtained from the VP shunt system was used to aid in intubation. Results: Out of 12,500 admissions in our department, there were 5 pediatric cases with SGS which were managed using modified IFT. Four were neonates and 1 infant (M:F = 2:3). Modified IFT(s) were used after failed intubation with ETT of size 2.5 mm in 4 patients (non-availability of ETT of size 2 mm), while in one neonate, even 2 mm ETT could not be negotiated due to SGS. In all the 5 children, successful intubation was finally performed with modified 8 French (Fr) IFT in 3, and with modified 6 Fr IFT in two cases. The surgical procedure was completed in 4 neonates out of 5 cases, while in one infant it was deferred due to the clinical condition of the patient and significant SGS. Conclusion: All 5 patients with SGS were managed without performing a tracheostomy. Modified IFT(s) is an effective alternative if smaller sized ETT(s) cannot be negotiated or unavailable in difficult neonatal and paediatric airway. This modified IFT as ETT has to be an important part of the emergency airway tray. It should not be considered as a replacement for routine use of standard ETT.
