    Tell me more about g-tubes and J-tubes

    core0 replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    Tell me more about g-tubes and J-tubes

    core0 replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on the type of feed and the type of tube. In a j-tube it would be very common for there to be no residuals. If you think about this you have a hollow tube so any feeds go right into the...
