Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding01:15

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

243
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.

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

418
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...

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway01:25

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

303
In preparing for oropharyngeal airway suctioning, a nurse must gather all necessary equipment, including a suction unit with tubing, a prepackaged suction kit, sterile gloves, water or saline for irrigation, a water-soluble lubricant, and additional personal protective equipment (such as a gown, mask, and goggles) to control infections.
After assembling the equipment, the nurse should practice hand hygiene and don appropriate PPE according to infection control guidelines to avoid the...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

50
Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned...

Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition

260
Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

645
Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric healthcare
  • Speech-language pathology
  • Nursing

Background:

  • Infants with cleft palate often face feeding challenges.
  • Standardized feeding practices and provider training are crucial for optimal infant outcomes.
  • Current trends and provider education in this specialized area require examination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate contemporary feeding practices for infants with cleft palate across various healthcare disciplines.
  • To assess the extent and nature of provider training in cleft palate feeding.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective survey was administered electronically to interdisciplinary providers.
  • Participants were recruited from ACPA-approved cleft palate teams in the US and Canada.
  • The survey collected data on provider demographics and feeding practice patterns.

Main Results:

  • 76 North American providers, primarily speech-language pathologists and nurses, responded.
  • A significant majority (68%) reported no academic training in cleft palate feeding.
  • Provider characteristics influenced the use of specific feeding tools and inter-provider collaboration.

Conclusions:

  • Consistent feeding practice patterns exist across disciplines, despite variations in provider characteristics.
  • There is a notable gap in formal academic training for cleft palate feeding.
  • Further research should address training needs and practice variations in diverse clinical settings.
