When a patient on N.G. tube feeding, during this time for check for tube accuracy gastric juice aspirate by syringe, then what is action- 1. This juice reinfusing in stomach 2. Discarded Give your opinion....
Why put it back....the old way was to actually to introduce saline and using a sterhthacope listen for sound in stomach.. once you have determined the tube is patent..no reason to put it back..why risk a introducing a potential contaminant
But acid never contaminated. I think No bacterial growth occur...đ đ
If you put it back are you still double checking patency. Of tube would you not have to. Physically listen??
1. to check whether the NG tube is permeable both ways (itâs not infected and nothing foreign, so why not). Though we usually just use air to check the tube in first place. When we canât hear something we aspirate.
