M , This tube enters the body through the nose and passes through the esophagus. The tip of the tube “ may be in the stomach (nasogastric) or further down the gastrointestinal tract in the small intestine (nasojejunal). These tubes are generally for short- term use ee Gastrostomy tube (G-tube) For this tube, a hole is made through the abdominal wall. The tip of the tube sits in the stomach. The length of some gastrostomy tubes may be adjusted by sliding the external bolster up or down the tubing. Most gastrostomy tubes will last a few months to a year or longer. - Feeding Port 0 Medication Port ———____ a —e Fill Port External Bolster* Balloon** or internal bumper “External bolster holds your tube in place. “If your tube does not have a balloon it will have an internal bumper to hold the tube in place.

The iad y gastric port is typically used to vent gases from the stomach or to deliver medications, while the jejunal port is used for formula. Alow-profile tube, also known as a button tube, sits close to the skin and requires extension tubing in order to use it. When not in use, it snaps shut. The tube may be in the stomach or jejunum.

Follow these tips to help prevent clogs: Stop the feeding and flush the tube with water before and after medication administration. © Give each medication separately unless otherwise instructed by your doctor or pharmacist. © Crush only those medications which are immediate-release. Sustained-release and enteric-coated medications don’t dissolve well and may not absorb properly when crushed ® Dissolve medications in warm water before giving them. e Use liquid medications when available. ® Dilute liquid medications with water to prevent clogging and gastrointestinal discomfort. © Ask the doctor or pharmacist if your medications are ideal for your feeding tube. Delivering Formula Feeding Tips Your healthcare team will provide instructions on the rate (how fast your formula flows) and the volume (the amount of formula used) for your feedings. Always wash your hands before handling your tube, formula and feeding supplies. You should be sitting upright or at a 30- to 40-degree angle during your feeding and for an hour afterward. This will help to prevent aspiration of formula into the airway. Use wooden blocks to keep the head of the bed at this angle if you get your feedings while you are lying down or sleeping. If you experience any symptoms of feeding intolerance during your feeding, such as nausea or vomiting, diarrhea or abdominal bloating, try slowing down the rate and contact your healthcare professional.
