was a time when I was looking for a gastrostomy nt different types depending on what pleasure he had to wear CrossFit. There is little such information. I have been helpful blogs like this one. So I decided to post a few words about Krzysiowych PEGach. Maybe someone need?
first PEGI what Christopher Robin wore a catheter flocare. It is a tube inserted into gastric fistula. After placing it on the site is pumped to the balloon, which protects against falling, and from the skin it zabespiecza silicon plate (so the tube does not enter the inside).
flocare advantage is the ease of care. You can always pick up a plate and clean the wound around. The downside is that the tube does not splits off, the children are busy as my son, this space is still working. This is true in respect to the position inside - PEG falls slightly, which can cause gastric content pouring in the abdomen, and this is known is not preferred because stomach juices are quite "virulent." The second movement, of which I speak is to work on some holes. A child walking, lying down, turning and rubbing irritates the protruding tube, which widens the channel. Unfortunately, it did at our place and in one month with the number 14 went to 16 and they wanted us to change it to 18 but it has not agreed and tried to save the fistula (the wider the circumference of the tube the greater the burden on the stomach).
flocare catheter looks like this:
Unfortunately, once the PEG Krzysiu escaped destroying the abdominal wall. Then we established a temporary Foley catheter. But we wore it for a long time, and exchanged for him when the hospital lacked the size of our PEGA flocare. Both look the same catheters. The difference lies in the fact that Foley is not plate, to support on gastrostomy on the belly. It was the worst period of PEGI. Christopher Robin has not yet walk, or sitting (up to 1.5 years) so like there was no problem with mobility, but maintain the catheter would not fell - is an art. Cudowaliśmy what they could. It was a way to clip lingerie, was the bandages ... but I did not give a sensational effect on wystawaniu above the surface of the abdomen did not mention.
Foley is such a thing:
last, our favorite is the low profile gastrostomy PEGI nutritious, sometimes called mushroom. When first inserting the measure requires the channel to adjust the height. Its advantage is the removable tube, so that PEG does not hinder the freedom of movement. Washed channel less freely than the Foley catheter flocare or because you can not pick up a mushroom. However, you can rotate AROUND cap, and so reach the needed space.

At the end of the show yet, "bowl" with śniadankiem Christopher Robin. Second breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner, look very similar:)
Meanwhile, in the same way, gets a drink.
