Children with a gastrostomy tube, also known as a feeding tube or g-tube, may need their parents or guardians to provide some basic maintenance at home so the tube stays clean and remains effective. This video shows how to exchange a g-tube to ensure that it stays clean and effective for your child.
If you have any questions about exchanging the g-tube, please contact your child’s doctor. This how-to video does not take the place of medical instruction or treatment for a specific medical condition.
