A Replogle tube is used in the management of infants with long-gap oesophageal atresia awaiting a delayed repair of their oesophagus. Infants with long-gap oesophageal atresia may wait up to 3 months until surgical repair of the oesophagus.
A Replogle tube is a double lumen radio-opaque tube used to give continuous low-pressure suction and irrigation of a blind ended pouch i.e. oesophageal atresia (Appendix 1). It is used in infants with Oesophageal
The Replogle tube is used in infants with oesophageal atresia to prevent aspiration of contents from the oesophageal pouch. Replogle tube is a double lumen, radio-opaque tube, which is mainly used to give continuous suction and irrigation to a blind ending pouch.(1)
Replogle's suction catheters are used in case of oesophageal atresia to remove saliva. They are positioned in the blind ending oesophagus. The markings of a Replogle's suction catheter form a dashed line.
If a Replogle, which has been in for more than 24 hours needs to be repositioned farther down into the esophagus or stomach, the tube should be removed and replaced with a new Replogle tube which can then be measured and safely inserted into the proper position.
Place replogle tube (at least 10 Fr) to low continuous suction. Notify Pediatric Surgery, PICU and ECMO team upon infant’s arrival to NCCC. Consider surfactant in infants < 34 weeks gestation.
