What kind of dr puts in feeding tubes?

A feeding tube can be used for bolus or continual feedings. A gastrostomy feeding tube insertion is the placement of a feeding tube through the skin and the stomach wall, directly into the stomach. A feeding tube is very effective when initially placed properly by a trained physician. Depending on the type of feeding tube placed, it is quite possible to learn to replace the tube yourself. Surgery is normally not required to replace the tube. Feeding tubes have a tendency to become clogged or occluded. This can lead to the need for replacement of the tube. Feeding tube clogging can be time consuming, and can prevent nutritional supplementation when clogged and awaiting declogging or replacment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feeding_tube http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007235.htm http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002937.htm
