Clinical Overview

Clinical Summary: Nasogastric (NG) tube care is vital for patients who cannot swallow or take nutrition orally. Proper placement is critical to prevent aspiration into the lungs.

What is the Service?

This includes the insertion of the feeding tube, checking for correct stomach placement, and educating the family on safe feeding practices.

Why get this service?

  • For stroke patients or those with neurological difficulty swallowing.
  • To replace a tube that has accidentally slipped or been removed.
  • Regular scheduled tube changes (usually every 2-4 weeks).

Safety Protocol

The nurse performs a pH check or "Aspiration Test" to confirm the tube is in the stomach before any feeding commences.

Preparation

Kit Required: Have the Ryle's tube and lubricating gel ready. A doctor's referral is recommended for first-time insertions.
