D. Post-Pyloric Feeding Tubes (NJ, OJ, PEJ)
Most medicines are absorbed jejuno-ileally thus there are few restrictions on what can be given via a post-pyloric feeding tube. However, these tubes tend to be much narrower than gastric feeding tubes, and thus are more prone to
blockage.
FLUSHING is the single most important factor in ensuring post-pyloric tube
maintenance.
