Good nutrition is essential for your body to heal. On the other hand, fluid is needed to prevent your system from dehydration. A Gastrostomy Tube or G-Tube is a short-sized feeding tube that is connected directly to the stomach by a surgical incision. Some kids, adults, or seniors with an illness or certain physical disabilities use it to survive and heal. This treatment is specialized for you if you have trouble eating on your own due to mouth or esophagus deformity and swallowing problems.

Nasogastric Intubation, on the other hand, is a medical procedure that involves the insertion of a plastic tube to the nose, pass through the throat, and down to the stomach. It is used for administering drugs, feeding, and other oral agents.

At Bethel-Divine Health Care Services, we have medical experts who are skilled, trained, and knowledgeable in administering these procedures. Proper maintenance and careful insertion of tube feedings are only done by professionals. If you have a loved one who might be needing our these medical activities, seek the help of the one you can trust.
