Withdraw gastric contents and evaluate color of aspirate. e. Check for residual, as indicated . h. Allow feeding prescribed solution to drain in by gravity, refilling the syringe as necessary (note: To avoid instilling more air into the stomach, do not allow syringe to empty before adding more solution) . Miscellaneous: . 3. Proper placement of the tube must be assessed by auscultation and gastric aspiration before the instillation of any liquid into it. 105606 Page 6 of 9 105606 06/30/2022 Northbrook Center for Rehabilitation and Healing 575 Lamar Ave Brooksville, FL 34601
