The "PEG" complication chart is an excellent guide which every person having a feeding tube should download. As in Carol's case her tube ended up going into her bowel. Her 1st Primary Care Dr. likened the tube to a straw....it goes in and out. Well, it isn't suppose to go "in and out"! So, that was the last straw with that Dr. Carol's new Primary Dr. immediately took action hence the new tube. There was never any pulling or pushing on the tube as that nurse had implied.
There is another web site from our friends down under that provides a tube feeding guide PEG only. It is a guide for Aussie direct support workers but is invaluable for people who are having a tube placed and for their caregivers.
