What happens when my child needs a nasogastric tube?

This video is made for parents and young people in hospital who want to see a nasogastric tube being inserted and hear how much it has helped the children who receive feeding support through the tube. Seeing what happens can help families to prepare and give them a feeling of being more in control. Erin and Sam in this video both needed a nasogastric tube for feeding support to give them enough energy, fluids and medicines to support their chemotherapy treatment. The What? Why? Children in Hospital charity makes videos about hospital tests and treatments to help parents and children prepare for hospital and show them what will happen. The charity now has 61 videos about hospital on topics such as gastrostomy tube feeding, central line troubleshooting, ECG, Echo, EEG, Ultrasound, Xray, allergy test, breathing tests, general anaesthetics, exercise tolerance test, hearing tests, getting a cannula and physiotherapy for children with Juvenile Arthritis and children with Cerebral Palsy.
