Our nurses can provide tube feeding support for the patients at their homes. Our Medical Director will conduct the necessary assessment and the details of the support will be decided based on the medical conditions and the recommendations of your doctor.

A nasogastric tube may be necessary if a patient is unable to eat or swallow. A DHA nurse will place a small plastic tube through your nostril, into your oesophagus, and into your stomach during intubation. They’ll be able to feed you and administer medicine once this tube is in place. Depending on the patient’s state, a feeding tube may be required for a few weeks, months, or the rest of their lives. You’ll need to learn how to operate and maintain the tube and how to avoid common problems. Getting adapt to feeding through a tube takes time.

Lana life care can help make tube feeding less mysterious and seamlessly integrate it into your everyday routine. The patient’s physiologic and psychological needs are handled and monitored by each discipline. Our medical directors are responsible for recommending caloric requirements as specified by a dietitian, and they must be provided and supervised by a DHA nurse. Our nursing assistants can aid with patient posture, comfort care, and behavioural monitoring, along with many other things. They can also advise on the sorts of feeding tubes needed based on the patient’s enteral formula and the expected duration of enteral feeding. Prepyloric and post pyloric feeding tubes are the two most common types.
