Hi everyone,

I am writing an EBP paper this semester and need ideas of nursing practices that may not be evidence-based. Any suggestions would help. Thanks!

How about using trendelenberg in patients that are hypotensive. Or installing air to determine NGT placement.

How about using trendelenberg in patients that are hypotensive. Or installing air to determine NGT placement.

There's a whole thread here on AN about instilling air to check NGT placement. Short answer: Lots of people do it, it's not standard of care, and it's not reliable. Lots of research on that out there in the world.

Start by searching AN to find the references on NGT checking standards. :) They're in there. (I put some of them in there myself.)

I have to do a similar paper. Are you having any luck figuring out what it all means? I'm still confused? :(
