Abstract
A nasogastric (NG) tube may be passed into the stomach of a child for a number of reasons. One of these reasons is to provide a route for enteral nutrition which can be either as an intermittent bolus or as a continuous drip feeding. The procedure for the insertion of an NG tube is easy and can be safely left down the stomach usually for up to 3 days. It is common in our centre for mothers of such patients to refuse the insertion of an NG tube for feeding. We undertook this study to explore the attitudes and perceptions of mothers on the use of NG feeding tubes on their children. (excerpt)
