About the Course
With the expanding number of gastrostomy tubes placed in infants and children in the U.S. and the lack of standardization of peri-placement, replacement, and lifetime care, this three-part webinar series will describe the continuum of optimal care from initial evaluation through tube placement and replacement, complications, and the transition from pediatric to adult care settings and needs.
The second webinar in the series will cover the dislodgement of balloon gastrostomy tube (BGT) devices. New ASPEN guidelines on replacement and verification of dislodged BGT devices, along with the use of care bundles and clinician education, will be outlined. There will also be a presentation on the new ASPEN care algorithms on the management of dislodged tubes.
This accredited program is free for all
