Patients and methods Ten consecutive patients who had no evidence suggestive of pre-existing hepatobiliary disease were admitted to an ICU because of trauma (n = 5), intracerebral hemorrhage (n = 3), or nonabdominal postsurgical complications (n = 2).

Prevention of feeding tube dislodgement with the Wiesbaden rein: a case series.
2009
We describe initial experience with the use of a new fixation method (Wiesbaden rein), which has been developed to prevent dislodgement of feeding tubes in the gastrointestinal tract. The Wiesbaden rein has been used in three patients without complication. In none of the patients was dislodgement or malfunction of the feeding tube observed. Therefore, the use of the Wiesbaden rein might prevent dislodgement of feeding tubes. Clinical trials are required before this new method can be recommended for general use.
