In our previous post "New Thinking of Nasal Feeding" we show you how to use a bladder syringes as a NG feeder.
In this article, we are going to show you how to use "Luer Lock Syringe" as a NG Feeder.
The nurses of ward 62/63-NSU Teaching Hospital Kurunegala are successfully using "luer lock syringe method". As they say, there are no undernourished NG fed patients in their ward. As well as this feeder is pretty economical.
So try this method for a better patient care.
