Hands down the best video explaining feeding tubes on the internet

[Schneider_forever]

This is actually the most helpful explanation I needed because I'm trying to make a story with a medical plot as accurate as possible.

We took our daughter to the doctor who placed the PEG, hoping he would be able to replace the tube, since it had been five months, and the tube looked really dirty inside, and the tube itself seemed to be breaking down in that it was losing integrity in that I had to prop open the clip because the tube couldn't stand up to the little pressure; and sometimes the tube would bend at the abdomen, closing it off. The physician assistants (who ever sees a real, flesh & blood doc these days?)... the physician assistants informed us that it looked great and that it would be too risky to replace. So, now it is getting blacker and blacker at the end nearest her stomach. I just don't understand. I think also there are other things about feeding tubes not mentioned. Some use a bulb inflated with water to hold them in and deflated to take them out; our daughter's PEG has a disc on the underside. Thank you for any insight you might have concerning her situation. It is especially concerning since you mentioned the risk of infection.

As an adult with a feeding tube I have not been able to find any support for my situation. I am looking to connect with other adults facing this situation. Most sites or support services are specifically designed for children or the caregivers of infants. I feel like an outcast and it’s hard to find any good resources.

Very good video. I am currently on a GI rotation for my elective as a MS3 and this was a good overview!

[julietannOsfan]

Thank you for this, I found it really helpful.

I suffer from Gastroparesis, which has got a lot worse just lately & I wonder if I’ll eventually end up with a feeding tube. If I did I’d be ok about it.

Just curious, do they ever give a j tube straight away or do they usually start with a nasal one for Gastroparesis?

[nouf]

Can you add cases to exam our selves and how to chose / calculate the formula

Thank you ❤

Had a feeding tube placed through my nose when I had neck dissection surgery 3 years ago. It was placed as a safeguard in case I had swallowing problems, but never actually used. Miserable time with that damn thing, couldn't eat or drink without constantly gagging, and I couldn't get any sleep, it was so uncomfortable. As soon as they pulled it out I was fine, and enjoyed my final meal in the hospital before I was discharged.

[CleanWear-xw]

Veryyyy good. My first job as a LPN may be with tube feeding patients and this helped me much thank you. I can listen to you for

[annierigg]

This is great! Why would you use a OGT instead of a NGT? I realize if there is damage to the nose it would make sense, but is an OGT often used when the patient is intubated? Or are there other instances where an OGT would make more sense?
