NG and/or OG placement protocols

[Wraith]

Do any of you work for a ground EMS organization that has in its protocols placement of NG or OG tubes? If so would it be possible to get a copy of that protocol? I am looking to present this to our medical director for implementation. Thanks in advance.

Here is our "Procedures" section of our protocols. On page 243 is NG insertion. It's a fairly large PDF file.

Here is a link to Austin/Travis County protocols. They have some outstanding written guidelines, as well as the OG/NG tube placement. I also ask if you have done research on placements such as in poisons which is very rarely used anymore (except the more toxic ones). I do suggest in cardiac arrest (especially neonates and pediatrics)..
