Web app helps caregivers learn tube feeding
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether a web application, in addition to standard face-to-face training, improves caregivers' skills in feeding a patient through a nasogastric tube (a tube that goes through the nose into the stomach). It may help caregivers feel more confident and competent in providing this care.
