If hiccups occur during nasal feeding, gastric tube can be fixed, metoclopramide or domperidone can be injected to temporarily relieve the symptoms.
Nasogastric feeding is commonly used in brain hemorrhage coma coma, vegetative patients, pharyngeal surgery, post oral surgery patients, etc. These patients, who cannot eat on their own or cannot eat by mouth, can be supplied with essential nutrients by nasal feeding to maintain life. Hiccups are often caused by diaphragmatic spasms, and it is possible that the insertion of a gastric tube may cause the sphincter at the end of the esophagus to close poorly and form hiccups, so the gastric tube can be further reinforced to reduce the activity of the gastric tube and relieve the hiccups.
If the gastric contents reflux, stimulate the diaphragm to cause hiccups, can be used to promote gastric emptying with gastric stimulants, such as domperidone, metoclopramide, etc., to reduce food reflux.
If nasal feeding often hiccups, after the above methods still can not be relieved, should go to the hospital in time for further examination, drugs under the guidance of the doctor.
