When to use MIC Key G Tube?
When the patient is unable to intake food or fluids directly via the mouth. Interestingly enough, experts opine that while it is a relatively safe idea to provide patients with fluids and nutrition through an IV infusion, however, the body responds better when the food and nutrition are delivered through the gut rather than the blood vessels.
Contraindications: Placement of a feeding tube include, but are not limited to ascites, colonic interposition, portal hypertension, peritonitis and morbid obesity.
