Types of Nasogastric Tube
A feeding tube is a device that’s inserted into your stomach through your abdomen. It’s used to supply nutrition when you have trouble eating. Feeding tube insertion is also called percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG), esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), and G-tube insertion.
In most cases, a G-tube is converted to a GJ-tube when gastric feedings are not tolerated. Both long GJ-tubes and skin-level button devices are available. These tubes must be replaced at the hospital, usually by an interventional radiologist. Feedings must be given slowly, over 18-24 hours.
