Event or Problem Description
|
|
The customer reported that the large 60cc syringe does create enough suction to pull out and measure the stomach contents of patients.It gives a false sense that there is no residual, when actually the patient has a large residual.A patient was overfed and aspirated during the time residuals were marked as zero.It was suspected by the customer but not confirmed that it was related to high residuals and continued feeding of the patient.The patient involved had multiple co-morbidities and was eventually terminally extubated and given comfort care.The customer stated the family¿s decision was not related to the aspiration.
