[Risk factors of nasogastric tube placement after elective colorectal surgery included in a rehabilitation programme: a multivariate analysis].
Nasogastric tube placement (NTP) is no more systematically recommended in patients scheduled for elective colorectal surgery but could be necessary in case of postoperative vomiting. The aim of this study was to determine independent risk factors for NTP after colorectal surgery. ⋯ After colorectal surgery tolerance to rapid oral feeding is impaired by denutrition and postoperative hypothermia. The combined used of postoperative droperidol should also be considered to avoid postoperative NTP.
