“…These children's voice difficulties may be associated with other factors which were not explored in this study. Preterm infants are at greater risk of iatrogenic pharyngo-oesophageal injury than their term-born counterparts, suggesting susceptibility of the anatomy to medical intervention such as intubation, feeding tubes and oral suctioning 23. Given the universal use of orogastric feeding tubes in the very preterm population, we were not able to evaluate the possible role of such tubes in preterm dysphonia in either intubated or non-intubated children.…”

“…Some sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, such as length of stay, sex, type of delivery and Apgar score vary according to the studied population. On the other hand, characteristics such as low birth weight and prematurity, both regarding gestational age and the reason for admission, are related to the occurrence of adverse events and neonatal mortality, referenced in several studies 5 - 7 , 11 - 14 .…”

Objective:to analyze incidents reported in a neonatal care unit. Method:a quantitative, cross-sectional and retrospective study with a sample of 34 newborns. Data were collected through a structured form, composed of two parts: sociodemographic/clinical characteristics of the newborns, and characteristics of the reported incidents. Data were collected from the institution’s computer system, in a period corresponding to 13 months, and analyzed by means of descriptive statistics. Results:the majority of the newborns were preterm (70.6%), male (52.9%) and born through caesarean section (76.5%). During the study period, 54 incidents were reported, totaling a frequency of 1.6 incident per newborn. It was found that 61.1% of incidents were related to medicines, 14.8% to accidental loss of tracheal tube and 9.3% to catheter obstruction. Conclusion:analysis of the reported incidents has shown that most incidents refer to the drug process. Information about the incidents can increase the perception of health professionals regarding the impact of their actions.

“…Other reported complications of feeding tubes in infants include malposition within the esophagus or posterior pharynx or direct injury from perforation of the nasopharynx, esophagus, stomach as well as liver and spleen, and the pericardial sac [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

This is a case report, with review of the literature, of an infant in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with the complication of a nasoenteric weighted feeding tube that assumed an overhand knot configuration. Knotting of the feeding tube is a rare occurrence related to the use of feeding tubes, and should be considered if the tube becomes nonfunctional, if there are clinical factors that might lead to displacement or malposition of the tube, or if there is excessive resistance or sudden onset of respiratory distress in association with attempted removal.
