Frequently Asked Questions

What is NG tube care, and why would a patient need it at home? +
NG (nasogastric) tube care involves managing and maintaining a feeding or drainage tube placed through the nose into the stomach, used for patients who can't eat normally such as those recovering from surgery, stroke, or serious illness.
Who manages the NG tube at home is it safe? +
A trained nurse from Sehet.pk's verified network manages NG tube feeding, flushing, and site care, following the same hygiene and safety standards used in a hospital.
Can the NG tube itself be inserted at home, or only maintained? +
NG tube insertion and ongoing care/maintenance (feeding, flushing, checking placement, and hygiene) can both be arranged at home by trained nursing staff, based on the doctor's advice.
How often does the nurse need to visit for NG tube care? +
This depends on the patient's feeding schedule and the doctor's plan some patients need visits several times a day for feeds, others need periodic checks. This is worked out with you when booking.
Is NG tube care available as part of a long-term nursing plan? +
Yes, it's commonly part of a longer-term care plan for post-hospital or critical care patients, and can be combined with other nursing services like wound dressing or vitals monitoring.
What happens if the NG tube gets blocked or dislodged between scheduled visits? +
This is why timely, trained care matters flag any issue immediately by calling 0318-2800021 so a nurse can be sent to address it, especially outside your regular scheduled visit.
Do I need a doctor's prescription to start NG tube care at home? +
Yes, since it's typically a continuation of hospital-prescribed treatment, a doctor's advice or hospital discharge notes are needed so the nursing team follows the correct feeding and care plan.
How do I book NG tube care at home? +
