Recommendations for Use
- Tube feeding may only commence after correct position of the tube has been verified using X-ray confirmation or pH testing of gastric contents using pH indicator strips (118495). A pH of 5 or below indicates gastric placement. The tube should not be used if there is any doubt about its position. If the patient suffers any signs of respiratory distress, turn the feeding pump off and seek urgent medical advice.1
