Our unit is trying to come up with 1 standard way for OGT/NGT collection devices on our NPO infants. Currently some nurses are using diapers taped around the end of the OGT/NGT for collection and others are putting a bottle at the end for collection.
How is it done on your unit. PICS would be helpful.
We use the delee suction traps when on low continuous or continuous sxn, and a syringe with a 2x2 or some other dressing to entrap the contents at the top of the syringe.
