Nasogastric tube aspirate pH values associated with typical enteral feeding patterns in infants admitted to an NICU
Observational research to determine how often nurses were uncertain about the position of a nasogastric feeding tube when using litmus paper to test the acidity of the aspirate. The aspirate was then tested using a pH strip for comparison to see if a change in practice might be required. [(BNI uniqu...
