PURPOSES AND

INDICATIONS

Page 6: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

To feed the children who are unable to take feed orally.

Feed the children who are undergoing oral surgery like - cleft lip or cleft palate, fracture of jaw, and in condition of difficulty in swallowing.

Page 7: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING
Page 8: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

When patient is unconscious or semiconscious

When the condition is not supportive to take large amount of food orally e.g.- severe burns, malnutrition, prematurity, acute and chronic infections.

Conditions when the patient is unable to retain the food e.g. anorexia nervosa and vomiting.

ADVANTAGES

OF

NASOGASTRIC FEEDING

Page 10: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

All types of nutrients including distasteful foods and medications can be given in adequate amount.

Without any danger, feeding can be continued for weeks.

Page 11: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

According to need, stomach can be aspirated at any time.

Large amount of fluids can be given with safety.

PRINCIPALS INVOLVED

IN GASTRIC GAVAGE

Page 13: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Tube feeding is a process of giving liquid nutrients or medications through a tube into the stomach when the oral intake is inadequate or impossible.

A thorough knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the digestive tract and respiratory tract. Ensures safe induction of the tube (avoid misplacement of the tube).

Page 14: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Micro-organisms enter the body through food and drink.

Introduction of the tube into the mouth or nostrils is a frightening situation and the client will resist every attempt. Mental and physical preparation of the client facilitates introduction of the tube.

Page 15: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING
Page 16: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Systematic ways of working adds to the comfort and safety of the client and help in the economy of material. Time and energy

Page 17: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

POLICY

Page 18: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

6 fr feeding tube is used for infants <1000 grams.

6 fr or # 8 fr feeding tube are used for infants> 1000 grams.

Never force the feeding under pressure.

Page 19: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

If possible, the infant should be held in semi-up-right position during the feeding; if not possible, position infant on right side or prone as this will facilitate gastric emptying.

If respiratory rate >70, check with physician about withholding feeding.

ARTICLES NEEDED

Page 21: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Mackintosh with towel

Page 22: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Kidney tray for receiving the waste

Page 23: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Cotton tipped" applicators to clean the nostrils.

Page 24: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Ryle's tube in a bowel.

Page 25: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Lubricant such as water soluble jelly or glycerin to prevent friction

Page 26: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Gauze pieces to clean the secretions

Page 27: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Scissors and adhesive plaster or tape

Page 28: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Measuring cup or glass/ounces glass.

Page 29: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Sterile syringe, about 10-20 ml

Page 30: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Paper bag- to collect the wastes.

Glass of feed in a bowel of warm water to give the feed at the body temperature.

Tongue blade.

Suction apparatus - to clear the airway, whenever need.

Bowel with water - to test the location of tube.

Clamp - to clamp the tube to prevent leakage of gastric contents

Page 31: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

PROCEDURE

Page 32: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Identify the patient.

Explain the procedure to the patient.

Maintain privacy.

Make the patient in comfortable position.

Make the patient sit on chair or place him in fowlers position.

Arrange the meckintosh and face towel across the chest and put under the chin to protect the garments and bed linens.

Page 33: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Keep the kidney tray ready for receiving the vomit, if occur.

Remove the dentures and place in a bowl of clean water.

Clean the nostrils with cotton applicators, if secretions are deposited.

Arrange all articles near the bed side or on the bed side looker.

Do the hand washing properly.

Page 34: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Check the patency of the tube.

Measure the length of the tube by measuring it from the tip of the nose to ear lobe and from ear lobe to the tip of the

xiphoid process of the sternum.

Wear the hand gloves.

Lubricate the tube with glycerine- or jelly by the piece of gauze. It is start from tip to the 6 to 8 inches long.

Page 35: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Now insert the tube with the right hand into the left nostril slowly

Page 36: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Pass the tube slowly backwards and downwards. When the tube reaches at pharynx, give patient sips of water and swallow, while swallow insert the tube about 3-4 inches each time. When it reaches completely till the mark stop to insert.

Now confirm the placement of tube by aspirating the gastric contents with the syringe. Other method is to place the tube end in a bowl of water and check the bubbles. If bubbles are present it indicates position in trachea.

Page 37: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Examine the mouth of patient with tongue blade and light source

Page 38: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

After this secure the tube with the adhesive tape at the nasal bridge.

After some time give some water to expel the air. Give the feed with feeding syringe or funnel. Give feed slowly; do not push the feeding solution with plunger.

Page 39: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING
Page 40: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

When the feeding is completed, pour a little amount of water and clamp the tube firmly to prevent leakage of fluids

When any obstruction occurs while feeding, remove the funnel and take a syringe with sterile water. Push the water slowly, and draw it back from gastric contents. When fluid starts to enter, connect the feeding funnel with tube

Page 41: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Provide oral hygiene every 4 to 6 hours to prevent infections

Page 42: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Dispose the waste materials and clean the articles properly and replace them.

Do the hand washing.

Recording and reporting

Page 43: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING

Offer a mouth wash. Clean the face and hands and dry them

Remove the mackintosh and towel

Make the client comfortable in bed

In case of unconscious or seriously illclients, apply suction if secretions are collected in the mouth

Page 45: NASOGASTRIC FEEDING  OR  GAVAGE  FEEDING
