Description

Gastric tubes are tubes inserted through the nose and into the stomach. The tube is used for diagnostic and treatment procedures. Diagnostic procedures include the evaluation of upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, the aspiration of gastric fluid content, the identification of the esophagus and stomach on a chest x-ray, and the administration of radiographic contrast to the GI tract. Therapeutic use of the GI tube includes gastric decompression, relief of symptoms and bowel rest after small bowel obstruction, aspiration of gastric content after recent ingestion of toxic material, administration of medication, feeding, and bowel irrigation. Fluid output is the amount of fluid obtained by aspirating the contents of the stomach through the gastric tube.https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/80925-overview#a2 Source: Regenstrief LOINC
