10:39- I'm not sure who has the right info on this. Simple Nursing says NO NG tube fore esophageal varices, but nurse achieve says it is an appropriate procedure. When I google it sounds like it used to be considered a contraindication, now it is considered appropriate but maybe proceed with caution. Hopefully with the two conflicting statements this is just something they don't test on the NCLEX because it sounds like what gets recommended could depend on the doctor.
My brother has cirrhosis, due to alcohol. At the hospital, they took him to drain fluid from his abdomen, as he is distended (pregnant looking), but there was no fluid. If there's no fluid, why is his abdomen so distended, and hard? He was so jaundiced he was almost orange. Plus, they gave him Heparin. Why would he receive that, if he's at risk of bleeding?
