Summary
A novel method securely anchors nasogastric tubes (NGT) for long-term use without sutures or facial fixation. This technique minimizes dislodgement and patient discomfort, offering a safe alternative for prolonged NGT management.
Area of Science:
- Medical Devices
- Surgical Techniques
- Patient Management
Background:
- Nasogastric tubes (NGT) are crucial for preventing complications like aspiration pneumonia.
- Securing NGTs long-term presents a significant clinical challenge.
- Existing fixation methods have limitations, including skin irritation and the need for sutures.
