I'd like to disagree with the entire procedure no matter what dignified intention you have. Does the procedure have to be so difficult, uncomfortable and painful that a baby like this has to cry unbearably? Are you telling me that there is no other way to get nutrition by mouth and have to rely on a tube that's supposed to allow food sustenance for period of time?
While withdrawing catheter suction pressure should not be applied as mucus membrane may stick with the holes in catheter with negetive pressure.Mucus membrane may be damaged resulting in bleeding,resulting in further block of air way.Release pressure & slowly ,e.g,fem milimeter withdrawl than again apply pressure,suck secretion than before withdrawing catheter further, RELEASE NEGATIVE PRESSURE, & minimize chance of bleeding while suctioning.
Son was born 32 weeks last Saturday,and has this 😞. and I’m in nursing school we had to practice nasogastric tubes. Interesting to see how it’s done on a baby.
That is a wonderful question. Other maneuvers to elicit the startle reflex such as someone in the room clapping hands can be used to stimulate swallowing.
🤗Parents or Care Givers can also use a 5ml syringe of sugar water 2drop in 2the throat 2stimulate the gag reflex! it also helps the child swallow 2Help the NG Tube go down the throat more easily & the child can tolerate this Much BETTER! I've also seen children respond much Better using this technique & a pacifier when needed!🥰 The other suggestions don't always work 2stimulate the gag reflex enough 2Help the NG Tube go down it just depends on the child!🤗 My 24Day Old Son is in the NICU & will eventually be sent home W/a NG Tube! These videos & the classes I've been talking at the hospital have been Very Helpful! But doing the procedure is what is most Helpful & if parents don't feel comfortable trying on their child 1st then most hospitals will let the parents practice🤗 on a doll 1st! 🤲Im Praying🙏 4all of our Families 2have Good Health, Happiness & Wealth! 🥰
