Gastric intubation: assessment and intervention
Crit Care Nurs Clin North Am.
2004 Dec.
Abstract
When gastric intubation is the chosen method of providing enteral nutrition, a variety of factors must be considered. To choose the proper tube, whether it resides in the gastric area or is postpyloric, it is important to consider the patient's level of consciousness, the duration of feeding, and the patient's overall status. Proper assessment, confirmation of tube placement, and nursing vigilance greatly reduce the likelihood of complications.
