There are many things that can cause the premature birth of babies. These babies usually come into the world before all their body organs have fully developed thus they cannot survive by living normally. One of the main things that usually comes out being undeveloped in the digestive system thus these kids need other methods of nursing that will not require digestion. Pediatric tube feeding is one of the most common methods that are used to nourish these children.
This refers to the administering of liquid nutrients straight to the gastrointestinal tract with the use of a soft duct. It is used on people who cannot orally take food and is most common in pediatrics. Tube nursing can also be done on other people other than premature babies if they have conditions that do not allow them to eat food orally.
Some of the body conditions that prevent people from eating normally are neuromuscular illnesses like cerebral palsy, hyper metabolism problems such as burns or cancer, metabolic disorders, problems of food absorption and several other disorders that cannot all be mentioned.
Tube nursing is divided into two classes which are the enteral and the parenteral nursing. Enteral nourishing is used to deliver food to the gastric system and the organs are left with the obligation of digesting the food. This is used to feed babies with ingestion difficulties only. On the other hand parenteral nourishing administers the nutrients straight to the blood flow. This is mostly used when the infant has an immature digestive system.
Enteral nursing is also separated into different groups which are dependent on the area in which the duct is directed into the body plus the part it directs the food. For example, the nasogastric tube transports the nutrients from the nasal region to the intestines. The Nasodeudenal consist of the transport of nutrients from the nose right into the duodenum. The Gastronomy tubes are normally implanted from a medical opening anywhere in the body.
At times the parents of the premature babies have to learn how to use tubes. For them to learn there are some guidelines that they need to observe critically to avoid any types of complications from developing. The tubes ought to be replaced frequently say within a span of 14 days. If the infant pulls the duct by accident before the substitution time has reached the same duct may be used.
Before changing tubes always make sure that they are thoroughly cleaned with a lot of clean water and soap. The new tubes should be inserted through a different nostril. Before using the duct, always make sure that it is in good condition. A good one usually has a wire inside that prevents it from curling inside the body. It is also important that you measure the length of the duct that should be inserted before reaching the stomach.
The parents should make sure that the child is not in pain when a duct is inserted because it is not supposed to happen. The area around the nose of the child should always be kept clean. This area should also be checked regularly to ensure there are no infections.
