摘要

A survey was performed to identify the practice associated with endoscopic placement of naso-jejunal(NJ) tubes. We had a total of 236 responses, of which 228 responded to the frequency of requesting X-rayafter placing NJ tubes. The responses suggested that there was a strong variation in the practice. The practice was independent on clinicians’ area of interest, hospital setting or experience in endoscopy. Currently there are no accepted guidelines on this. Hence, we advise hospitals to have robust local guidelines until there is internationally agreed consensus.
