In some circumstances fluoroscopic nasojejunal tube insertion is necessary. This document provides instructions for administering medications and feedings through a dobhoff or peg tube When placing a nasogastric tube (ng tube) it is important to appreciate that its tip may not be positioned correctly in the stomach and may be aspirated rather than swallowed

Passing food or medication via a ng tube into the airways carries a high risk of mortality.
The feeding port is incompatible with luer lock or i.v
Connectors, reducing the risk of accidental connection or infusion Available with safe enteral connections. Iv reglan or erythromycin may also help Always confirm position radiographically via kub before medications are given!
Unlike some other feeding tubes, the dobhoff tube is narrower and has a weighted tip, which helps it move through the digestive system more easily These tubes are designed to be more comfortable and easier to place than earlier feeding tube options. Enteric tubes that will be removed within a short period can also be passed through the mouth (orogastric). Dobhoff tubes cannot be used for decompression and are limited to feeding and meds
The secondary port on the dobhoff allows for medication administration without disconnecting the tubing or stopping the feed.
The red port on the tube accesses the stomach lumen for gastric suction and irrigation, while the blue port access the jejunal lumen for jejunal feeding and medication. Care for patients with dobhoff tubes by exploring these interactive scenarios Work through the steps of dobhoff insertion and the challenges of complications in caring for these patients.
