_____________________________________

This video teaches you how to clear a clogged feeding tube in the hospital setting.

It begins with a review of what the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition recommends in their 2017 publication ASPEN Safe Practices for Enteral Nutrition Therapy.

Then it goes over some of the common mistakes I've seen nurses make when trying to unclog a feeding tube, like using soda or juice.
