Why might a patient not tolerate feeding through a g tube?
A patient might not tolerate feeding through a G-tube due to factors such as gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, or vomiting, which can result from the type or rate of feeding being administered. Additionally, issues like tube displacement, blockage, or infection at the insertion site can lead to complications that hinder tolerance. Underlying medical conditions, such as delayed gastric emptying or pancreatitis, can also affect the body’s ability to process enteral nutrition. Lastly, psychological factors, including anxiety or aversion to tube feeding, may impact a patient’s willingness to tolerate this method of nutrition.
