The Use of pH Indicator Test Strips for Nasojejunal/Nasogastric Tube (NJT/NGT) Testing in Neonates Prior to Feeding

Ensuring safe feeding practices for neonates with nasojejunal (NJT) or nasogastric tubes (NGT) is crucial to prevent severe complications like aspiration pneumonia. pH indicator test strips are a reliable, non-invasive method for verifying tube placement, with a pH value of ≤4.0 indicating correct gastric placement.
