Abstract
Over 250,000 patients receive a percutaneous gastrostomy tube (G-tube) each year. Malfunctioning or dislodged G-tubes often require urgent replacement and reinsertion in the ED. Little data exists regarding the best technique for bedside catheter replacement and verification, and individual operator preferences vary widely. Although a few reports have been published describing the use of ultrasound guidance during the initial percutaneous insertion, no data is available concerning its role during subsequent G-tube replacements.
