Hi nurses,
I need advice; I was performing a g-tube feed for a pediatric patient with a motor disability, but I forgot to prime the g-tube during his first feeding. He tolerated the first feeding well, but during the second feeding, he threw up. He was a bit distressed but afterward, he used his communication board to say he felt fine. He was monitored for 2 hours after and he was okay. I'm feeling very incompetent and paranoid that this may lead to a more serious issue. Is air in the stomach a serious issue for a kid with a motor disability? Thanks.
