I had a pt today with a peg tube that had some leakage around the site. A KUB had been done yesterday and it showed the tube to be in good position. Well when I changed the dressing there was what looked like some tube feeding around the site and on the dressing. Then later when I gave a med thru the tube (which was red), I decided to see if it was still leaking. Sure enough when I lifted the tube upward the red drainage started seeping out. The surgeon had come by early am and had commented in the progress notes "No drainage around g-tube site". (Which by the way wasnt true b/c I changed the dressing about 30 mins later). So I called the doc on call and he said he thought it was alright and that the other surgeon would re eval in am. My question is...how much is too much drainage from the peg tube site? What could be causing this? Thanks.
