Features
This bag is specifically designed to be used with the TERi manikin, which is a comprehensive geriatric patient care trainer. The manikin has a realistic anatomy, including a stomach reservoir and an NG tube or G-tube site, that can be connected to this bag. The bag allows for the realistic flow of fluids, which is essential for training in both lavage and gavage procedures. It mimics the function of a real feeding or irrigation bag used in a clinical setting. As a product from Nasco Healthcare, it is made from durable materials that can withstand repeated use in a medical education environment.
Use
The primary use of the "Teri Bag Lavage/Gavage, LF04337" is to provide a hands-on training experience for a variety of nursing and medical skills related to enteral feeding and stomach irrigation. Its uses include:
Gavage Feeding: Students can practice the administration of nutrients and fluids through an NG or G-tube. This includes setting up the bag, ensuring proper flow, and managing the feeding process.
Gastric Lavage: This procedure involves irrigating the stomach, often to remove toxins or other contents. The bag is used to simulate the administration and removal of fluids during this procedure.
Medication Administration: The bag can be used to practice giving liquid medications through the feeding tube, a common task for nurses and caregivers.
Tube Patency: Students can learn to check for and clear blockages in the NG or G-tube by using the bag to administer a flush.
