How to use CORFLO Nasogastric Tube?
- Gather necessary supplies:
- You will need the feeding tube, lubricant, a syringe, and any additional equipment or supplies as directed by your healthcare provider.
- Verify placement:
- Before inserting the feeding tube, your healthcare provider will verify the placement of the tube using an X-ray or other imaging technique to ensure that it is correctly positioned in the stomach or small intestine.
- Prepare the tube:
- Lubricate the end of the feeding tube inserted into the nostril with a water-soluble lubricant to make insertion more comfortable.
- Insert the tube:
- Gently insert the feeding tube into one nostril and advance it down the throat and into the stomach or small intestine, as directed by your healthcare provider.
- Verify placement again:
- Once the feeding tube is in place, your healthcare provider will verify its placement using an X-ray or other imaging technique to ensure that it has not shifted or moved.
- Connect the feeding tube:
- Attach the feeding tube to the appropriate equipment or supplies, such as a syringe or feeding pump, as directed by your healthcare provider.
- Administer feedings:
- Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for administering feedings through the feeding tube.
Things to remember when using NG tubes at home
- Insert the tubes gently so you do not damage the airway, esophagus, or stomach lining.
- Ensure the tube is intact and there are no cracks or holes, or the food can internally enter other body canals.
- Always consult your medical professional before choosing an NG tube or changing the food.
- Immediately stop feeding if the user faces an aspiration (food being regurgitated into the lungs).
