Aspirate
What’s an aspirate? An aspirate is what is taken from the stomach before a tube feed. If you’re in NICU (neonatal intensive care) it’s usually done by a nurse, who will use a syringe to draw up a bit of liquid from the stomach – they then test it (by using a pH strip and checking the colour) to make sure that the tube is still in the right place. It may be that you can get involved in taking an aspirate, and you will be shown how to do this.
