Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

1.4K
Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.

Ostomy Care

Introduction
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

2.1K
Enteral nutrition delivers nutrients directly to the stomach or small intestine through a tube. This method is appropriate for patients who cannot eat but still have a functioning digestive system. It is also beneficial for individuals with swallowing difficulties, anorexia, malabsorption, or those who have undergone gastrointestinal (GI) surgery.
Orogastric (OG) and nasogastric (NG) feeding are two standard methods used for enteral nutrition. Enteral nutrition is often preferred over...

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes01:28

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes

4.5K
A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening into the trachea, typically at the second or third cartilaginous ring level. This opening allows the insertion of a tracheostomy tube, which can replace an endotracheal tube, provide mechanical ventilation, bypass an upper airway obstruction, or remove accumulated tracheobronchial secretions.
Tracheostomy tubes can be made of semiflexible plastic (polyurethane or silicone), rigid plastic, or metal, and they come in...

Tracheostomy Care II: Procedure

2.2K
Tracheostomy care is an essential nursing skill that involves cleaning and maintaining a tracheostomy tube to prevent infection and other complications. Here's a step-by-step guide explaining each procedure with its rationale. Note that disposable gloves are to be worn at all times and changed as often as needed to maintain a sterile work environment, and to protect both patient and healthcare worker.
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene, and put on personal protective equipment: gown, gloves, mask...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a common procedure for establishing direct gastric access.
  • The procedure involves creating a fistula through the abdominal wall for tube insertion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the optimal fixation technique for PEG tubes.
  • To ensure patient comfort and secure tube placement.

Main Methods:

  • The study focuses on the anatomical and mechanical aspects of PEG tube fixation.
  • It details the role of the internal disc and external fixation device.

Main Results:

  • The external fixation plate requires specific spacing from the skin.
  • A 0.5cm distance is recommended for secure fixation without causing discomfort.

Conclusions:

  • Correct positioning of the PEG fixation plate is essential for patient well-being.
  • This guideline aids in preventing complications associated with PEG tube placement.
