How We Do It | The Nasal Bridle: A Loop Retention Device
2022年3月8日 · The nasal bridle loop is an effective retention device for NG and NJ feeding tubes that reduces the frequency of tube malposition and loss. The improved tube security results in cost savings and reductions in potential complications and in the incidence of escalation to gastrostomy or gastrojejunostomy tube placement.
How Does a Nasal Bridle Work? Once the bridle tubing is passed through both nostrils and around the vomer bone, it uses the structure of the nasal cavity, specifically the vomer
New data has emerged suggesting that bridles may delay or decrease the need for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement, and as a result, the 30-day mortality associated with it. This review describes the tech-nique of bridle placement and the latest outcomes data.
What is a nasal bridle? A nasal bridle is a thin piece of white umbilical tape (or cloth) that is secured to a nasogastric (NG) or nasojejunal (NJ) tube with a small clip. The bridle may be placed when the child’s tube is placed or after the tube is already in. Why is it used? • To prevent the tube from being pulled out.
Scope of procedure and criteria for bridle insertion . This procedure is intended to apply to all adult patients within the organisation who have been deemed to require a naso-enteral feeding tube fixation device. The Nutrition Support Team is responsible for implementing the procedure.
Nasal Bridles for Securing Nasoenteric Tubes: A Meta-Analysis
In 1980, Armstrong et al 4 described a technique for securing nasoenteral feeding tubes by using a nasal bridle, whereby some type of anchor (extra feeding tube, umbilical tape, or red rubber tube) is placed around the vomer bone or nasal septum.
Reining in Nasogastric Tubes: Implementation of a Pediatric Bridle ...
2020年12月22日 · Bridled nasogastric tubes provide a safe securement method for pediatric patients. A nasogastric bridle program induces multidisciplinary collaboration across the care continuum. Nasogastric tubes (NG) used for enteral nutrition support of medically complex children (MCC) are often inadvertently removed, risking frequent replacements.
Currently, the bridle is inserted using magnets attached to the distal ends of the catheter and probe. After inserting the catheter into one nostril and the probe into the other, the magnets come in contact posterior to the vomer bone, forming a loop or ‘’bridle’’ of tape around the bone.
Nasal Bridles for Securing Nasoenteric Feeding Tubes: A Review of ...
2020年5月28日 · This paper highlights the spontaneous magnet avulsion from a bridling system and serves the purpose of community awareness regarding this unusual procedural complication. Additionally, we aim to evaluate the efficacy of the nasal bridle, further accentuating its advantages and possible complications.

How is a nasal bridle inserted? The nasal bridle is placed by passing a silicone tubing into one nostril, which passes around the bone at the back of the nose (the Vomer bone) using small magnets attached to the end of the tube. The silicone tubing comes out through the other nostril using a probe in the opposite nostril.
