Aloha e DU. I am tasked with recording the +/- on a percutaneous gastric feeding tube or nasogastric feeding tube [View all]

for a person I love who can not take any food or water by mouth for a while.

He is losing a lot of weight and has nothing but the IV solution with a little sugar and minerals in it for a week or so now.

Does anyone here have knowledge of this that you might share with me please?

Mahalo nui, thank you so very much.

ps I am reading studies on the national institute of health, one of many legacy treasures of being an American that so few of us know about. I am using the term 'reading' here very loosely as I can barely understand even the abstracts. Hence the inquiry. mahalo!
