The specific operation method of the pediatric nasogastric feeding model

The pediatric nasogastric feeding model is a commonly used training tool in pediatric nursing teaching, mainly used to simulate the entire process of feeding children through nasogastric tubes. The specific operation methods are as follows:

First, prepare the necessary items, including a nasogastric tube, syringe, lubricant, feeding liquid and fixing tape, and perform hand hygiene.

Secondly, place the model in an appropriate position, usually a semi-reclining or sitting position, to facilitate the insertion of pipes.

Thirdly, measure the length from the tip of the nose to the earlobe and then to the xiphoid process as a depth marker for intubation, and make a mark on the tube.

Fourth, dip the front end of the nasogastric tube in lubricant and gently insert it along the nasal cavity. During the process, be gentle and avoid pushing it with force.

Fifth, after the insertion reaches the predetermined scale, the position of the tube should be confirmed to be correct by injecting a small amount of air and ausculting the stomach, or by extracting the contents of the stomach.

After confirming that there are no errors, fix the pipe to the model face, connect the syringe or funnel, and slowly inject the nutrient solution. The injection speed should be moderate to prevent backflow. Finally, after feeding is completed, the pipe should be pulled out or flushed in time to keep it unobstructed, and the model should be cleaned. Through training, trainees can master the operation skills of pediatric nasogastric feeding in a standardized manner.
