| Abstract: | Nasogastric feeding is a very safe and cost-effective way of treating the frequently encountered state of malnutrition of hospitalised patients. The procedure used to insert the tube and the follow-up care and monitoring of the tube-fed patient are the most important aspects that, if performed appropriately, render this artificial form of nutritional support so advantageous for the medical staff and the patient. This project is intended for use as a guideline for nasogastric tube feeding, that is, the ideal way of carrying· out nasogastric feeding, providing nutrition with the least discomfort to the patient. |
