A feeding tube may leak due to several factors, including improper placement, damage to the tube, or excessive pressure from the feeding formula. If the tube is kinked, clogged, or not securely connected to the feeding source, it can also lead to leaks. Additionally, the integrity of the tube material can degrade over time, increasing the likelihood of leaks. Regular maintenance and monitoring are essential to prevent these issues.

When using the halide torch for refrigerant leak detection a small leak causes a flame?

One "lights" the halide torch and it burns a blue flame. While the flame is burning blue, one uses a "sniffer" tube to probe for a chloroflurocarbon leak, (older style, ozone depleating refrigerant). The sniffer tube sucks in the leak and causes the flame to turn a greenish color due to the burning of the refrigerant. Thus one has now detected a leak. There are also other methods available for detecting a leak ie. soap bubbles, dyes, and electronic leak detectors.

It depends why the feeding tube was placed. If the feeding tube was placed because the person cannot chew/swallow safely, then no. If the feeding tube was inserted for supplemental feeding because the person doesn't consume adequate nutrition, then yes.
