Uses
An enteral feeding tube carries liquid feed, water and fluids directly into the stomach when a patient cannot eat or swallow safely. The tube is passed through the nose (nasogastric) or the mouth (orogastric) by trained staff, and its position is confirmed by the hospital's approved method before any feed is given. It is also used for paediatric patients.
The rounded, smooth tip and two side windows are designed for gentle insertion and free flow, and the mark 20 cm from the tip gives a reference point for checking that the tube has not moved. Feeds are given through the proximal Luer connector with a syringe of matching fitting, and the stopper closes the tube between feeds.
Because the tube has a Luer connector, it should be clearly labelled as an enteral line and kept apart from intravenous equipment to avoid misconnection.
