- Patient Safety
Background
- Nasogastric tube insertion is crucial for patient care but faces challenges.
- Current methods require separate sterile materials, increasing complexity and waste.
- Lack of uniform control during insertion can lead to complications like mucosal bleeding and airway aspiration.
Purpose Of The Study
- To develop an integrated nasogastric tube auxiliary pushing device and intubation kit.
- To address limitations of current nasogastric tube insertion techniques.
- To enhance safety, efficiency, and patient comfort during nasogastric tube placement.
Main Methods
- Design of a nasogastric tube auxiliary pushing device with a guide wire, wire harness, and booster base.
- Development of an accompanying intubation kit with sterile trays and placement slots.
- Integration of the device and kit into a portable, unified system.
Main Results
- The new device provides stable, uniform assistance for single-person nasogastric tube insertion.
- It integrates packaging and portable design for streamlined operation.
- Potential to reduce insertion complications, improve patient tolerance, and minimize occupational risks.
Conclusions
- The designed nasogastric tube auxiliary pushing device and intubation kit offers a significant improvement over existing methods.
- This innovation enhances patient safety, comfort, and procedural efficiency.
- The integrated system is suitable for widespread clinical adoption and promotion.

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...
Endotracheal intubation is a critical procedure that can be lifesaving for many patients with respiratory distress or failure. The role of nursing in managing endotracheal tubes is pivotal, as it involves pre-intubation preparation, assisting during the procedure, and post-extubation care.
1. Nursing Care of Patients Before Intubation
Before the endotracheal intubation procedure, nurses play an essential role in ensuring the process goes smoothly. The nurses must be familiar with intubation...
Endotracheal tube extubation is a critical procedure in weaning patients from mechanical ventilation. It involves physically removing the oral or nasal endotracheal (ET) tube, marking the final step in liberating a patient from ventilatory support.
Procedure
Extubation removes the endotracheal tube (ETT) from the patient on mechanical ventilation. It requires a well-coordinated, multidisciplinary approach involving physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare professionals....
Endotracheal or ET intubation is a critical medical procedure used to secure a patient's airway, often in acute respiratory distress, apnea, upper airway obstruction, ineffective clearance of secretions, high risk for aspiration, or during general anesthesia.
The ET tube comprises various components, including a standard adaptor to attach a bag-valve-mask (BVM) or ventilator, a cuff, a pilot balloon, and radiopaque markings along its length to measure the insertion distance. The tube sizes...
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.
Equipment Required
Suction machine with adjustable pressure settings
Sterile suction catheters (appropriate size for the patient)
Sterile gloves
Sterile saline or water (for irrigation or lubrication)
Water-soluble lubricant
Personal protective...
Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway...
