“…In patients requiring gastric decompression, the insertion of a dual lumen naso-enteric tube with both gastric and postpyloric termination ports would afford simultaneous drainage of gastric contents and provision of postpyloric enteral nutrition [59]. This is particularly pertinent for patients at a high risk of aspiration and malnutrition to reduce feeding delays [60].…”

Purpose of review Critical care nutrition guidelines primarily focus on patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, yet noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is an increasingly common intervention. The optimal route of nutrition delivery in patients receiving NIV has not been established. This review aims to describe the implications of NIV on the route of feeding prescribed. Recent findings Five small, mostly observational, studies have quantified energy or protein intake in patients receiving NIV in critical care, which demonstrate intake to be poor. No study has assessed the impact of feeding route on outcomes. The predominant route of feeding observed is oral intake, yet nutrition intake via this route is lower than that from enteral or parenteral nutrition. Barriers to oral intake include fasting for intubation, the inability to remove NIV apparatus to eat, breathlessness, fatigue and poor appetite, while barriers to enteral nutrition include the impact of the naso-enteric tube on the mask seal and potential aspiration. Summary Until evidence to support the optimal route of feeding is developed, patient safety should be the key driver of route selection, followed by the ability to achieve nutrition targets, perhaps utilizing a combination of routes to overcome barriers to nutrition delivery.

Peritoneal adhesions (PA), commonly occurring complications of wound healing, often lead to various medical issues, including secondary, chronic abdominal pain, small bowel obstruction and infertility. In recent years, the focus has shifted towards employing Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), known for its unique biological properties, to mitigate postoperative peritoneal adhesions. PEG stands out for its anti-adhesion capabilities, demonstrated through its surface non-adhesiveness, ability to inhibit protein adsorption and cell attachment, and its effectiveness in preventing thrombus and fibrin formation, alongside its highly adaptable properties. Consequently, researchers have explored PEGbased materials, often blending or copolymerizing them with other substances to enhance their characteristics. Various adhesion prevention techniques, including membranes, sprays, injectable hydrogels, and solutions, have been extensively studied. This article begins with an exploration of the etiology and complications of peritoneal adhesions, followed by a concise summary of recent advancements in PEG-based anti-adhesion barriers and hydrogels. Additionally, it provides critical insights and comments, laying a theoretical groundwork for future research in this field.
