Filter by:The purpose of this study is to optimize the Gravitas Feeding Tube System Placement Algorithm for NICU patients and to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Gravitas Feeding Tube in the neonate population for the administration of nutrition, fluids and medications.
This research was carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study to evaluate the effects of haptic interactive virtual reality and computer-based simulation technologies on students' knowledge, skills, anxiety, satisfaction in learning and self-confidence in teaching nasogastric tube application. The research population consisted of students who enrolled in a foundation university nursing department and took the "Basic Principles and Practices in Nursing II" course in the Spring Semester of the 2020-2021 academic year, and the sample consisted of 90 students who met the inclusion criteria of the study. During nasogastric tube application, the Control Group (n=30) trained with the Standard Curriculum, Experimental Group 1 (n=30) trained with Haptic Interactive Virtual Reality Simulation Technology, and Experimental Group 2 (n=30) trained with Haptic Interactive Computer-Based Simulation. n=30) was performed. Research data were collected with "Structured Student Introduction Form", "Nasogastric Tube Application Skills Examination", "Nasogastric Tube Application Skill Checklist", "State-Trait Anxiety Inventory", "Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale". Appropriate statistical methods were used in the analysis of the data.
This study was planned as a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial to determine the effect of evidence-based skin care interventions and hydrocolloid dressings in preventing nasogastric induced pressure injuries in critically ill patients.
Nasogastric tube placement is essential for various surgery and critically ill patients. However, NG tube insertion in anesthetized, paralyzed, and intubated or unconscious patients may be difficult, with reported success rate less 50% on the first attempt without any auxiliary devices. Endotracheal tube intubation narrow the space of oropharynx and hypopharynx. Loss ability to swallow and tongue drop also made the NG tube coil in the mouth easily. Investigators assume nasopharyngeal airway can facilitate NG tube insertion by opening a channel from nostril to epiglottis and reduce complications by protecting nasal cavity while inserting NG.
