Gastrostomy tubes (G-tubes) provide long-term feeding assistance to children with severe dysfunction. Although there are a host of complications that occur at home current pediatric G-tube feeding, their prevalences and outcomes remain relatively unstudied. This study aims identify describe such complications.A dual-round survey was administered 98 participants through the Feeding Tube Awareness Foundation, 501(c)(3) organization supports parents caretakers G-tube-fed children.

Gastrostomy tubes (G-tubes) are the gold standard for feeding assistance children with dysfunction. Current G-tubes pose complications that interrupt delivery of feed, including tube displacement and difficulty at-home use. This study details an alternative, spoke-based, double-lumen G-tube design preliminary validation its function usability. Pull force testing was performed on spoke models across three sizes two classifications (hard/soft). Preliminary were evaluated against market...

Introduction: Gastrostomy tubes (G-tubes) are the primary approach for providing long-term feeding assistance to children with dysfunction. Numerous complications occur pediatric G-tube whose prevalences and outcomes remain relatively unstudied. Displacement is widely considered be particularly serious may associated other complications. This study aims identify describe these issues. Methods: A dual-round survey (IRB #00248159) was administered 98 participants through Feeding Tube Awareness...
