I have a question about how to decompress a frequently distended abdomen. A foley style catheter with med port is being used. MD ordered decompression PRN for distention. Looking for techniques to proceed. Client has had G-tube > 10 years.

Order a supply of Farrell Bags. They are a special type of GT feeding bag with an extension tubing and bag for air. It might work.

I second the thought on the Farrell bags. My son has had a gt for 9 years and constantly swallows air. Attaching one of these to him when he is seated or asleep really does the trick. You can empty them as needed.
