How do you irrigate a Salem Sump tube?

To irrigate a Salem Sump tube, first, ensure the patient is in a comfortable position and the tube is properly placed. Use a sterile saline solution or prescribed irrigating fluid, and gently attach a syringe filled with the solution to the tube's port. Administer the fluid slowly while monitoring for any resistance or complications; the fluid should flow easily. After irrigation, observe the output and any changes in the patient's condition.
