Continuous Enteral Tube Feeding

[zdnswxy]

I work in social services (adult protection) and have to deal with a lot of medical neglect issues. Our medical training is very basic; the rest is learned through experience. This video has helped me understand how the feeding tubes are used. Does the same concept apply for PEG tubes (tubes for the stomach instead of nose, right??). Also do you always have to flush it every 4 hours or is that only when you change it out after 24 hours? Thank you.

He touched his eye, he contaminated the glove without realizing it.

I guess I would starve to death because they would never get that tube down my nose.
