First of all, the tube is uncomfortable and can be counterproductive to
the feeling of nausea, as the tube runs down the throat creating a gag
reflex in some patients. Many times the tube is itself vomited up and
has to be reintroduced. My friend said the naso gastric experience was "hell" and preferred PH. But, naso gastric feeding keeps the patient
hydrated, gives her nutrition, and does not carry such serious risks as
the needle and catheter method (PH). It also uses the digestive system
in a natural way which is conducive to normal functioning.
