gastric balloon การใช้

• Costs for the gastric balloon are surgeon-specific and vary by region.
• It consists of a gastric balloon, an esophageal balloon, and a gastric suction port.
• The tube is passed down into the esophagus and the gastric balloon is inflated inside the stomach.
• Lucy's return was a factor in Bell's personal decision to lose weight via a gastric balloon.
• The ( intra ) gastric balloon for weight loss differs from the Sengstaken-Blakemore balloon used to stop esophageal and gastric bleeding.
• A related device with a larger gastric balloon capacity ( about 500 ml ), the Linton Nachlas tube, is used for bleeding gastric varices.
• A traction of 1 kg is applied to the tube so that the gastric balloon will compress the gastroesophageal junction and reduce the blood flow to esophageal varices.
• If diet, exercise and medication are not effective, a gastric balloon may assist with weight loss, or surgery may be performed to reduce stomach volume and / or bowel length.
