MND Guide to PEG Feeding

[@learningdomaintv4969]

My father has just had one fitted and, as his carer, I will be needing to do this. Thanks for such a clear video.

[@helenjoy6316]

I'm having PEG tube surgery in two weeks. 😮 I'm so glad i found this video to have a better understanding of what to expect!

[@SuntoSet77]

I had one put in because of great weight loss post cancer but also many health issues that make it eating harder. I will share that my post op experience was really challenging and it's been 3 weeks but feels like 3 months. I had excruciating pain to better but so much discomfort that has affected my way of life.. I thought it would be easy n it's turned out to be hard. I hope your experience is positive and you receive a good outcome !

[@PortiaMavurayi]

Thank you for the clear instructions in the video, it is indeed very helpful

The nurse didn't ook for air in the seringe. You don't want to push air down the peg tube. I saw a gop in one of the seringes as she was pushing the fluid in the tube. It's better and easier to get a plug on top of the bottle of medication that to poor some meds into the meds pot. Meds then can go straight into the seringe from the bottle. It's also less messy and quicker.

what happens if you do? air is pushed into mine often!!!!!!!!!

[@helenjoy6316]

​@@Ariyan2O12 you do botty burps lol 😂that's all. I have an NGTUBE at present but am getting a PEG in two weeks. Avoid lots of air though as it can be uncomfortable. A small amount of air really is not a problem, so don't worry!

[@Ariyan2O12]

@@helenjoy6316 lol, sometimes, more normal burps. tbh! I'll have to look out for the amount of air the put in

[@helenjoy6316]

Just remind yourself that whilst not ideal, it won't kill you! How painful was your PEG surgery?

[@Ariyan2O12]

@@helenjoy6316 it wasn't too bad, but mine stayed tender for a while. just relax and let them to their thing.

[@lizetmartinez345]

Excellent explanation!!

[@frankfromupstateny3796]

Great video....I think American medicine and nursing in general could learn how to make appropriate videos by watching our friends over seas. For sure. Good quality...time well spent. American medicine doesn't spend the time or money to do things right the first time...then wonder why so many people are sick and things are done wrong. No offense. We don't get it.

Did I miss checking the aspirate??

[@KJ-jt4vf]

You don't check an aspirate with a PEG tube since it is fixed in the stomach

[@axeentertainment78]

Our doctor told us to keep the clamp closed when we are finished. What to do?

[@philiptuckwood775]

Firstly talk to your nurse specialist as everybody is a unique individual. As a general rule of thumb though once the cap / stopper is in place release the clamp. The clamp being in the locked position for a prolonged period of time will start to damage the tube this may mean more frequent changes of the tube.

thank you for teaching us ma'am 🥰👏

My husband has Dementia, and recently had a feeding tube inserted. However, he complains that he's hungry or thirsty. Is this normal? What can be done? We were told that he must not be given anything by mouth.

How are you coping, dows he understand not to pull it out

@@jamiejames9603 What?!

[@frankfromupstateny3796]

Adding PO/oral feedings/liquid or solid, will be "up to the MD/RN" in charge here. The Peg Tube was placed for a reason; dysphagia (trouble swallowing) of various degrees might be a reality; for many reasons. Ask questions, get answers, and understand the answers. If you don't...keep asking til' you do. Then, take the proper action. But, you do NOT want to have both oral/mouth feedings/eating, with Peg Tube feedings . This is clear.

[@ahaning]

@@frankfromupstateny3796 You said "you do NOT want to have both oral/mouth feedings/eating, with Peg Tube feedings . This is clear." My father is "considering" (he's vehemently opposed to it, but we're working on that) getting a PEG tube and was told that the tube could be used as a sort of a backup when he had trouble getting food down his throat. And when the time comes that food can get down his throat reliably, the PEG tube can be removed. Can you clarify whether you mean that in Colleen's case, oral and PEG feedings cannot be combined, or do you mean in general?

[@kathrynstafford7099]

Is the cool boiled water the same as distilled water?

[@ahaning]

Not necessarily. I'm not a medical professional. Distillation is done to remove contaminants like calcium, fluoride, and other minerals, as well as bacteria from the water, but you couldn't necessarily rest assured that there was no bacteria in the water just because it is distilled. Bacteria could be introduced somewhere along the line after distillation. Boiling water is done to kill bacteria. Boiling doesn't remove the minerals, but it actually makes them more concentrated because of the steam (water) that is boiled off, so you actually end up with less water after the boil than what you had at the beginning. My guess is that you could buy distilled water and then boil it and then let it cool and use it for cleaning the stoma, but you could get the same effect from starting with water from the tap, which is much cheaper and generally more readily available.

[@jameschalk6096]

Very good but there seems to be an issue with clamping and unclamping at 14.14?

[@andrewpenniall3095]

Clamping/unclamping can be done with one hand with a little practice.

It is being flushed daily to keep it clean. It is being flushed before and after your tube is used for food or medication this is now being given. After this time, it’s being thrown away.
