This is a new concept to me, as a nurse. I had heard about this about 6 months ago for the 1st time. Someone at work was talking about it.

I found a couple of videos on YouTube that explains how to start a Subcutaneous Infusion Therapy. This is a pretty cool thing that is available, especially for elderly patients.
Nasogastric Intubation is one of the skills assessments that we have to do in nursing school. I have found another video that goes through the process of inserting the tube step-by-step. You can view it by following the link below.
