When should you extubate?
When the patient can breathe without assistance (I am assuming a breathing tube -- not an NG tube).
What should you always do before instilling anything down and ng tube?
Explain the procedure to the patient.
When a patient needs both intubated and a gastric tube can either a NG or a OG be used for the gastric tube?
NG (nasal) generally have smaller lumen. An OG (oral) has a larger lumen size. They shouldn't be interchanged. Check the lumen sizes.
When a patient is intubated do you go NG or OG?
Neither. An NG tube is a nasal gastric tube which is inserted through the nose extending into the stomach to evacuate the stomach contents. An OG tube goes down the throat into the stomach for the same reason. Now there can be a nasal intubation if there is oral surgery being done.
Can you reinsert guide wire to blocked NG tube?
You should never reinsert the guide wire into an NG tube. If reinserted into the NG tube, it can puncture through the tube and perforate the esophagus. You should follow your doctor (or whoever ordered the NG tube) ordered flushing instructions only.
Should nasogastric tube be change at which day?
An NG tube should be left in for the duration of treatment. Changing the tube would put the patient at higher risk for trauma to the nasal passage, and esophagus, and higher risk for infection than putting the tube in once and taking it out when you're finished with it.

What does po feedings mean?

How often do you irrigate a NG tube how much NS do you use?
NG tube irrigation frequency and volume should be determined by a healthcare provider based on the patient's condition. Typically, NS (normal saline) is used in small amounts, such as 30-60 mL, for irrigation. It is important to follow the specific instructions provided by the healthcare provider to prevent complications.
