Things to remember when using Corflo Nasogastric Feeding Tubes

Whenever one uses nasogastric feeding tubes at home there are a few things one has to take into consideration:

• Insert the tubes gently so that you do not damage the airway, the esophagus, or the lining of the stomach
• Ensure that the tube is intact and there are no cracks or holes, or the food can enter other canals of the body internally
• Immediately stop feeding if the user faces an aspiration (food being regurgitated into the lungs)
• Always consult your medical professional before choosing a NG tube or changing the food

How to care for Nasogastric Feeding Tube and Skin?

• Taking care of the NG feeding tube involves cleaning the tube so that there are no contaminants left in the tube.
• Dirt, microbes, or other contaminants in the tube can damage the nasogastric tube as well as cause problems for the digestive system.
• Cleaning the skin around the nose after using the NG feeding tubes helps in reducing irritation and rashes.
• Use a clean washcloth and a mild bathing soap to clean the skin around the nose after removing the tape or bandage.
• Also wash off the adhesive residue left by the tape or bandage.
