Also known as: NJ tube, nasal feeding tube.
A nasojejunal tube is used to feed a patient (often a child) if he or she is unable to take food by mouth. The tube passes through the nose and into the small intestines.
You’ll need to avoid food and drink for a set period of time before the procedure.
Bleeding, infection, tearing of the bowels or equipment failure are possible complications of a nasojejunal tube.
