AMT’s patient focus has even led to the development of an enteral nutrition mobile app: AMT ONE Source®.
With this type of tube inserted, where should it be actually inserted to? Stomach. duodenum, or jejunum? I have a lot of leakage past few months with my tube. It has never been re-positioned in my life time and we think the tube might need to be re-positioned. I have it since late 1989
A G-tube or gastric tube would access the stomach, by definition. I believe this style is regularly replaced every 3-6 months, depending on the manufacturer or your provider's recommendations. The retention balloon and materials degrade with time and exposure to stomach acid.
