Comprehensive range of nasogastric tubes
Within this range are tubes to feed all types of patients from 400g babies to large adults, in both long and short-term designs. There are three types described in this booklet and sections on how to select the right size and length for a particular patient.
Other sections show how to pass a tube and check that it is in the correct position to feed. We have also put together a variety of accessories to help with feeding, aspiration, flushing and the delivery of medicines. We will also cover the care and maintenance of tubes and what to do when anything goes wrong.
Fully NPSA compliant
In March 2011 the NPSA issued a Patient Safety Alert which updated the NPSA Alert from March 2005. These alerts are very clear in the physical characteristics needed for a tube that is going to be used for feeding, flushing or for delivering medication. All Medicina nasogastric and nasojejunal tubes are fully compliant with both alerts.
