Abstract:
Objective To design a neonatal nasogastric fixation mount to decrease the complications during nasogastric feeding and facilitate the nurse's operation.Methods The mount was composed of a base,a hose rack,a clamp,a freelyrotating roll ball and a fixation knob.Totally 90 preterm infants hospitalized from January to September 2016 were equally and randomly divided into a fixation mount group,a gravity feeding group and a control group using conventional nasogastric feeding.The incidences of the complications during feeding were recorded including emesis,abdominal distension and apnea,and questionnaire survey was carried out on the nurse's satisfaction for the fixation mount.Results The mount reduced the complications related to nasal feeding,increased the nurse's satisfaction.The fixation mount group had the complications incidence rate (30.0%) significantly lower than those of the gravity feeding group (43.3%) and the control group (53.3%).The nurse's satisfaction in the fixation mount group (93.3%) was higher than those in the gravity feeding group (80.0%) and control group (52.0%).Conclusion The nasograstric fixation mount is applicable for the preterm infants in far-infrared radiation table,warmer and infanette,and thus is worthy promoting clinically.
