Malnutrition is a serious problem not only for hospitalized patients. At the same time, proper nutrition can prevent many health complications, including impaired wound healing and the development of pressure ulcers.
A gastrostomy tube, often known as a G tube, is an implanted medical device that provides direct access to your child's stomach for additional feeding, hydration, or medication. G tubes are utilized for a number of medical issues, but feedings to improve your child's nutrition are their most popular application. A G tube helps deliver enough calories and nutrients to maintain a child's growth when they are unable to eat enough by mouth.
A low-profile tube frequently referred to as a "button" is one of the most popular G tube kinds. This kind of tube rests on top of the abdominal wall and is held in place by a water-filled balloon in the stomach. When giving medications or feedings, a unique extension tube is added.
Mushroom gastrostomy tubes are another kind of long tube. This is a latex tube that is inserted into the stomach and has a mushroom-shaped end. Stitches and a dressing are used to hold this tube in place. A ziplock-style device is used with a dressing to keep the tube in place. It is a sizable circular dressing.
