What is Nasogastric Tube Insertion Guide about?
1. A nasogastric tube is inserted through the nose into the stomach to administer feedings, medications, suction stomach contents, or lavage the stomach. 2. Placement is confirmed by checking the pH and presence of bilirubin in aspirated stomach contents, which should indicate an acidic pH level and presence of bilirubin. 3. Once placement is confirmed, the tube is secured to the nose with tape and attached to any feeding or suction apparatus, with the distal end clamped if not in use.
