Red face Use of Dobhoff feeding tubes
permalink
Could anyone please tell me if they are still using the Dobhoff feeding tubes and if so, are all of your nurses putting them in. Has any hospital gotten rid of them? If so, what was your criteria/rational for getting rid of them? If you got rid of them, what are you using instead. Thanks
