Gastrostomy and tube feeding support
There are many different reasons that someone requires an enteral feeding tube and many different types that can be fitted. They are often used when a person has a condition or injury that prevents eating a regular diet by mouth, but their Gastrointestinal tract is still able to function. The feeding method chosen will depend upon the individual person’s circumstances and whether these are needed short-term or long-term. At Ocean Healthcare we have experience of caring for people with different types of feeding tubes including:
-
Nasogastric tube feeding (NG).
-
Jejunostomy tube (JEJ).
-
Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG).
-
Gastrojejunostomy (GJ)
-
Button gastrostomy (more frequently used in children).
