Pediatric NG Tube Placement/Verification Video for Caregivers

[@andrievbastichy8551]

Good video.. thanks for providing it. kid was like.. "not the tube!" hugs...

[@bridgetcorrymorse1536]

GOOD VIDEO! Appreciated the live demo as babies can be challenging and refuse with their whole bodies. It was good to see the baby settle into the mom's arms.

[@InfiniteCraftsman]

Thank you for making this. 3 years ago when our son was born, there wasn't a video that involved an actual infant that was awake and protesting. They taught us on a doll and then we dropped it in our paralyzed and sedated 3 month old. None of that compared to being alone in the middle of the day with a starving child, screaming and kicking and then I was forced to make it all so much worse before it could get better.

[@claudiaarmah2389]

Don't thank her this woman is nuts. She demonstrates the procedure yet makes the baby nervous and cries in pain. Inserting a tube is something foreign to one's body. Why even recommend tubes when you know it is going to cause pain and discomfort for babies? Knowing that the baby can't swallow food/fluids because of it's gagging reflex, why even make it more severe by pushing the tube down into their nose? I have seen infants in hospitals who have orogastric/nasogastric tubes inserted very gently and NOT ONE SOUND came out from them. How is that possible?

[@Elizabeth-iv3gn]

People whining over this: tube insertion is no or minimal pain and its uncomfortable, that's it. Feeding tubes can save the baby life and prevent malnutrition and have great results (if done correctly). Baby's cry over anything and everything, they also cry during diaper changes, car rides, outfit changes or when they are held still or when you take away their toy, does this mean these things hurt? Nope. It simply means they don't like it and they are uncomfortable, they will live! Also, to people saying this baby should be sedated, sedation comes with risks and side effects, especially for younger patients and they usually need to fast, sedation and making baby fast for 6 hours is NOT worth a procedure that causes 2 minutes of discomfort. 15:35 Notice how baby started to get fussy and cry BEFORE they placed the tube? He did because they were touching him and not letting him stick his foot up and they swaddled him, he turned into a beetroot and started cackling like he was being skinned alive, was he is pain? Nope. He also calmed down as soon as he was picked up. He is fine! 🙄

So many people commenting who obviously have no medical knowledge. This is not a painful procedure. Uncomfortable? yes, but not painful. Many babies cry just because they are being held still, not because of the procedure. These tubes are not placed for the fun of it, they are placed because it is a medical necessity. Babies need to be fed, and if they cannot take feedings by mouth, it has to be done in a different way.

[@juicy_mentat]

I believe it's up there with the most painful nursing procedures.

Los niños no deberían pasar por esto..y eso de que no es doloroso es muuuuuy relativo….no es tan indoloro que digamos pero si es horrible

My baby cry’s so loud opening the air way I have a terribly hard time placing NG , it’s came through her throat and coughs and threw up and even coughed small blood , we will wait till tomorrow for a professional! I feel so terrible the blowing used to work for us but not anymore :(

[@dianewalden7607]

you repositioned the baby on his right side, not left.

how bout auscultating to check if tube is in place

[@TheGamingSnaker]

sorry to say, but it shows restraining a child focusing only on the technical issue

[@teviz309]

Thank you

[@jessicawalbroehl1171]

Poor thing sounded like he was choking I feel so bad they should’ve given him a sedative and isn’t it said that if the patient starts coughing to take the tube out and comfort the child and restart and maybe GIVE THE POOR THING A SEDATIVE!

[@bhavyaamin9718]

Sedatives are not given during this procedure because this is a painless procedure but it's uncomfortable if we give sedatives it may have some cause to the patient. Ok answer me that uncomfortable is just for a moment and by administration of sedatives may cause risk to patients life which is better??

[@juicy_mentat]

@@bhavyaamin9718 definitely not painless, my dude.

[@MommiDonni1]

Oof that poor baby. He knew what was about to happen. I dont know anyone who would be comfortable with a water hose being jammed down their nose. 🥺😩

[@rachaelireland2549]

The tube is actually not uncomfortable you can’t feel it.

[@Evelyn_Noname]

„Jammed“ is an overstatement you can see that they‘re careful

[@ゼファー-n1t]

@@rachaelireland2549 bruh what? That’s such a lie, I’ve had three NG tubes placed and they are ridiculously uncomfortable for hours and days when you first have them inserted, not to mention the constant feeling like you’re gonna gag. It can also be painful if it’s inserted too fast which happened to me and many other people, and it can irritate your throat obviously

That poor baby. And why on earth could you not give him a sedative before doing this? Awful. This is wrong.

[@klv2500]

Sedatives aren’t necessary for ng tubes. Sometime they can have numbing for the throat but theres no way to guarantee it covers the whole throat. It’s not a fun procedure for anyone, but it’s a medical procedure that helps them stay healthy in the long run

[@ashlenz7033]

He's uncomfortable, but see how he is immediately soothed by mom picking him up. It's not a painful procedure if done correctly and quickly. It feels terrible to see them scream and cry, but momentary discomfort is better than taking a risk with a sedative. Imagine if the child had a reaction to the medication or even worse an overdose? And sedatives may interfere with feeding and voiding schedules, as well as other medications the child might be on.

[@ry.butterfly]

Unnecessarily sedating an infant is dangerous. It's a quick and relatively painless procedure, and he was very easily soothed when it was done.

[@claudiaarmah2389]
