How often should a gtube be replaced?

A gastrostomy tube (G-tube) should typically be replaced every 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of tube and the patient’s individual needs. However, if there are signs of malfunction, infection, or discomfort, it may need to be replaced sooner. Always consult with a healthcare professional for specific recommendations based on the patient's condition and type of tube. Regular monitoring and care are essential for maintaining the tube's function and the patient's well-being.
