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.
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)
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
A Replogle tube - a double-lumen radio-opaque tube - is used for continuous suction and irrigation of secretions collecting in the blind-ending oesophageal pouch of an infant with oesophageal atresia.
A Replogle tube is a medical device used in the treatment of babies with esophageal atresia or other blockages of the gastro intestinal tract. It is a double-lumen tube which is inserted through the baby's nostril or mouth into the stomach (or blind-end pouch).
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.
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.
