Patients Participating in Nasogastric Tube Insertion through Hypnoanalgesia during High-dose Chemotherapy-induced Aplasia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The insertion of a nasogastric (NG) tube is often a difficult experience for both patients and caregivers. This often results in a high failure rate of NG insertion. This pilot study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness, tolerance, and acceptability of hypnoanalgesia to assist self-insertion of an NG tube. Patients undergoing high-dose chemotherapy for autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or acute leukemia and with high risk of aplasia were included in the study. A total of 38 patients were included during 6 consecutive months. They all achieved successful NG tube self-insertion. The NG tube remained in place during hospitalization in 32 cases for an average duration of 15 days. Six patients rejected the NG tube during vomiting but they all voluntarily attempted it again later on and succeeded. The discomfort related to NG-tube insertion was mild. This pilot study suggests that NG tube self-insertion assisted by hypnoanalgesia may be effective, well-accepted, and well-tolerated in patients. These promising findings will need further confirmation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
