What are the next best strategies for managing early dumping syndrome? Choose all that apply
Slow jejunal feeding via naso-jejunal tube and pump
Good choice! Slow feeding of an enteral formula into the jejunum regulates the flow of food into the jejunum and may prevent fluid sequestration.
Octreotide sub-cutaneous injections
Correct! Octreotide acetate slows down gastric emptying and small intestinal transit and may mitigate the symptoms of early dumping syndrome.
Revision from Billroth II to a Roux en Y bypass
Correct! If all other treatment measures fail, anastomotic revision from a Billroth II gastrojejunostomy to Roux en Y anastomosis is an option.
