2011年4月28日 · The Levin Tube. The actual tubing is referred to as lumen. The Levin tube is a one-lumen nasogastric tube. The Salem-sump nasogastric tube is a two-lumen piece of equipment; that is, it has two tubes. The Levin tube is usually made of plastic with several drainage holes near the gastric end of the tube.

2010年10月11日 · Try opening another Salem sump tube and replacing the filter port. Instill 10cc of air into the blue port, place the filter in the blue port, remember, blue to blue, and place back on low intermittent suction. This should solve the problem. This usually happens a lot while patients are being tube fed and improper use of the tube.

2012年12月30日 · The salem sump tube is double lumen, I believe, one lumen is large for suctioning and feeding/meds and the other lumen is small to equalize the pressure after suctioning.

2005年3月2日 · Theoretically, the salem sump can be hooked to continuous suction. The blue port is supposed to keep the tube from sticking to the wall of the stomach, which is the main danger of continuous suction. However, most facilities (where I've worked; not sure about the others) and many physicians prefer all NGTs to be to intermittent suctions still.

2015年4月23日 · Make sure you connect your patient back up to the bells, wires, whistles. When you assess, you need to be sure that you are still getting output, how much from the last hour, (I enjoy hourly I&O's just for accuracy) and that the NG tube is connected properly. If you are charting that the NG tube is in place, make sure that it is.

2008年9月22日 · The Salem sump and the Levin tube are commonly used NG tubes that are placed for GI decompression or drainage. The Salem sump has two lumens, one for drainage and one for air. The drainage lumen is usually connected to low continuous suction. At times, however, higher levels may be needed. The air vent keeps the tube away from the stomach …

Output changed from expected cloudy straw colored fluid to rust colored/brown and frothy - what could this be?
