Option 2 : Sengstaken-Blakemore tube
Concept:
- Sengstaken Blakemore -> The tube is usually inserted through the nose or mouth and used occasionally in the management of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage due to esophageal varices especially the distended and fragile veins in the esophageal wall.
- Sengstaken Blakemore tube is a tube used in emergency medicine to stop bleeding in stomach or esophagus.
- The technique used to place the tube is called balloon tamponade. Once the tube is positioned to stop the bleeding.
- It is generally left in place for 24 hours. If bleeding recurs, the gastric balloon and, if necessary, the esophageal balloon may be reinflated for an additional 24 hours.
- Jackson Pratt drain -> is used to help empty excess fluid from the body after surgery. This drain can help in the healing process.
- T Tube -> is a type of draining tube placed in the common bile duct after common bile duct exploration with supra-duodenal choledochotomy. It mainly provides external drainage of bile into a controlled route while the healing process of choledochotomy is maturing and the original pathology is resolving.
- Penrose drain -> is a soft, flat, flexible tube made of latex. It helps blood and other fluids move out of the area of surgery. This keeps fluid from collecting under the incision or surgical cut and causing infection. Part of your Penrose drain will be inside the body.
