ABSTRACT:
An improved surgical appliance suitable for temporary gastrostomy for humans is provided in the form of an elongated, multiple lumen gastrostomy tube, which is adapted to provide both (1) gastrointestinal decompression by means of suction, thereby significantly removing both undesired swallowed air from the stomach and excess collections of gastric fluids from pools formed in the stomach, while simultaneously, substantially equalizing pressure in the stomach by use of venting means, and (2) intraduodenal or jejunal feeding by intubation and infusion.
