Nasogastric tube (NGT) Nasojejunal tube (NJT) Insertion Care and Management Workshop
- NGT feeding has been common practice in all groups of patients, neonates, paediatrics and adults for many years. NGT are generally used in the short (one week) to medium term (up to six weeks) or for longer term feeding, which occurs via gastrostomy tubes or jejunostomies. There is a small risk that nasogastric feeding tubes can be misplaced in the lungs during insertion, or can be misplaced out of the stomach at a later stage. NGT Insertion
- The National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) Patient Safety Alert 05 (2005) provides guidance to the NHS on checking and confirming that a nasogastric tube had been inserted into the right place. Reducing the harm caused by misplaced nasogastric feeding tubes was a Patient Safety Alert published by The National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) in 2005.
- The NPSA 2011 recommended that all health care professionals involved with nasogastric tube position checks have been assessed as competent and that competency training should include theoretical and practical learning.
Aims of the workshop:
- To promote a clear, consistent and evidence based approach to the insertion, care and management of nasogastric (NGT) and nasojejunal tubes (NJT).
- To promote the safety and well-being of all patients who require a nasogastric tube and nasojejunal tube.
- To provide guidance regarding scope of professional practice, level of competence and accountability in nasogastric and nasojejunal tube insertion, care and management.
- To provide a framework for roles and responsibilities in nasogastric tube and nasojejunal tube insertion and care thereafter
