[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, an NG tube goes directly into the stomach. There is no risk of liquid / food going into the lungs, unless you are dropping a new tube every time (unlikely). Also, there is no risk of tangling. The tube is pretty much designed that it’s taped to their face, so the syringe goes there. No risk of tangling. Pulling out may be a concern, but kids learn pretty quickly to leave them alone, and in general, they’re pretty non intrusive to their lives. It’s a tiny tube from nose to cheek. I’d start with an NG tube. If it doesn’t work, then Peg or g tube shiuld be considered. I wouldn’t go invasive unless you have to. [/quote] I agree with this. [/quote]
