Hi Everyone,
Our NICU team is called upon every now and then to perform gastric lavages on neonates found on our Mother-Baby floors. These infants are term, but have been spitting up. Our MDs will order a lavage to be done, but without type of fluid to be used or amount. Literature searches have not really been of help. Does anyone do this besides us?
Thanks,
