Use of surface acoustic waves to reduce pain and discomfort related to indwelling nasogastric tube.
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Nasogastric intubation, one of the most widely utilized therapeutic procedures in medical practice, is associated with trauma, pain, and discomfort, which can occur both at insertion and during the indwelling phase. Although lubricating jelly is useful during the insertion phase, insertion can still cause great discomfort. Furthermore, the jelly is rapidly absorbed and...
متن کاملComparison of using cooled and regular-temperature nasogastric tubes on the success of nasogastric intubation
Background: Successful nasogastric intubation is defined as “correct placement of the tube with minimum number of attempts” which is an important issue in nasogastric intubation. Due to controversies in the use of cold tubes in nasogastric tube insertion, need for research in this area seems necessary.
