Safe nursing practices - evaluation of correct placement of a gastric tube in neonates and infants

Mgr.Jaroslava Fendrychová, Ph.D.
Katedra ARIPP, NCO NZO Brno

Assessing whether gastric feeding tube have been correctly placed is an important and difficult proces. Many different methods have been

recomended, but nurses are not sure which of them is the most accurate. There is no relevant studies in Czech databases, so I have used

the recommendation of the UK National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) from the August 2005 and Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority

(2006) and I offer it to nurses for the practical use.

Keywords: gastric tube, correct placement, methods of control
