just recently this topic came up during a chat.... i see dye in tube feedings once in a blue moon at my hospital. do you guys use dye? does anyone know of a nursing article on this subject? i checked out my hospital's policy and procedures but couldn't find anything on this topic. i think it would be interesting to take it to our nursing research and get some sort of policy initiated.

Dye also went by the wayside about one year ago in my facility. We can use it if we "have" to--pt has a high risk of aspiration, we think they are aspirating, etc...but I haven't seen it used at all since it was taken away on recommendation of the intensivists.
