Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a Ryle’s tube be replaced?+
Typically every 4–6 weeks, or sooner if damaged, blocked, or displaced. Our nurses replace on schedule and check position at every visit.
How do you verify the tube is in the right position?+
Before every feed the nurse aspirates gastric contents and checks pH (< 5.5 confirms stomach placement). This is critical — feeding into a misplaced tube causes aspiration pneumonia.
Can I train to do tube feeds myself?+
Yes. Our nurses teach families the safe protocol — position check, flush before/after, upright posture during feed. The nurse handles insertions and replacements while family manages daily feeds.
What if the tube gets blocked or comes out?+
Contact us immediately. A blocked tube can sometimes be cleared with warm water flush; a displaced tube needs re-insertion by a nurse. Never force a blocked tube — it can rupture.
