Why Tube and Line Care Matters:
Tubes and lines are commonly used for a range of medical purposes, including:
1. Enteral Feeding Tubes: These tubes are used to deliver nutrition directly to the stomach or small intestine, which is crucial for individuals who have difficulty swallowing or digesting food.
2. Intravenous (IV) Lines: IV lines are used to administer medications, fluids, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream, providing a rapid and efficient way to deliver essential treatments.
3. Catheters: Catheters are used to drain the bladder, manage urinary retention, or assist with urinary incontinence.
4. Oxygen Lines: Oxygen therapy is essential for individuals with respiratory conditions, and we ensure that oxygen lines are properly maintained and administered.
5. Drainage Tubes: These tubes are used to remove excess fluids or gases from the body, helping to manage various medical conditions.
