Generally speaking, for some patients who can't absorb food nutrition orally, they can absorb nutrition by inserting stomach tubes in clinic to keep their bodies normal.

Gastric tube, also known as disposable multi-lumen gastric tube (including balloon lumen, intestinal passage and gastric passage), is clinically used for gastric decompression. The gastric tube forms positive pressure or negative pressure through the gravity of the liquid in the catheter, and is inserted into the stomach through the esophagus for the input, drainage (suction) and duodenal drainage of liquid or liquid nutrition.

Disposable multi-lumen gastric tube is commonly used in clinic. It has exclusive bionic design, utility model patented products, made of imported polymer materials. Made of medical polymer materials, it is comfortable to use, well tolerated and less irritating to mucosa and digestive tract. Good flexibility, stable performance, resistance to X-ray radiation and various acid and alkali corrosion, and can be placed for a long time.

It is suitable for general surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, tumor surgery, gastroenterology, neurology, respiratory medicine, stomatology, psychiatry, burns, pediatrics, etc.

Medically speaking, inserting a stomach tube is oral feeding or nasal feeding. Manually inserting the gastric tube into the esophagus through the mouth or nostrils, passing through the pharynx and reaching the stomach through the esophagus, manually pressurizing the push rod and piston of the syringe, and sucking water and food into the nasogastric tube and stomach of the patient, so as to ensure that the patient can get enough nutrition, water and medicine and recover as soon as possible, which is the basic technology that must be mastered in clinical medical treatment.

The following diseases are generally applicable to gastric tubes.

1. Acute gastric dilatation.

2. Upper digestive tract perforation or digestive tract obstruction.

3. Acute abdomen has obvious flatulence or abdominal surgery.

4. Coma patients or those who can't eat by mouth, such as patients with oral diseases and oral throat surgery.

5. Patients who can't open their mouths, such as tetanus patients.

6. Premature and critically ill patients and patients who refuse to eat.

7. Patients who commit suicide by taking poison or eating poisoning by mistake and need gastric lavage.

It should be noted that

People who meet the following three points can't use stomach tubes!

1. Patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma or acute inflammation.

2 patients with esophageal varices, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, gastritis, nasal congestion, esophageal and cardiac stenosis or obstruction, heart failure and severe hypertension.

3. Patients who swallow corrosive drugs.

In daily life, patients with gastric tubes need to pay attention.

Food should be light and easy to digest, such as rice paste and lotus root starch. Patients with stable condition can supplement foods with high calories and vitamins in time, and properly mix some fruit juice, chicken soup and fish soup into the staple food to ensure balanced nutrition. During the interval of feeding, you can add some water and juice appropriately. Do not turn the patient over within 30 minutes after feeding.

Another thing that needs to be reminded to family members is that in daily care, especially in patients with serious illness, if there is brown liquid in the stomach tube, they should inform the doctor in time to judge whether it is gastrointestinal bleeding and keep the gastric juice for examination.
