Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The most dreaded complication of G-tube replacement is misplacement of the tube into the peritoneal cavity. This is far more common in recently placed tubes but has been reported in patients with mature tracts (>30 days). Starting tube feeds into the peritoneum often leads to serious morbidity and mortality.
Detailed explanation-2: -Reported complications of nasal tube feeding include nasopharyngeal lesions, sinusitis, aspiration, diarrhea, intestinal ischemia and metabolic derangements. Aspiration is reported in up to 89% of patients, with no clear advantage of nasoenteric over gastroenteric feeding.
