How can the gastric reflux prevention valve on this Sump Tube benefit me?

When caring for a patient who needs a nasogastric sump tube, there is a chance that gastric fluid might regurgitate up through the tube. This is not only bad for your patient because he or she could aspirate it, but it also causes unnecessary patient gown and bedding changes, as well. For a patient who is undergoing this type of treatment, anything you can do to help make the experience easier on them is a plus. Help reduce your risk of exposure to potentially infections gastric materials, and keep your patient as comfortable as possible with NG tubing that features an Anti-Reflux Valve. It will make the lives of both you and your patient much, much easier.
