Bolus feeding is when formula is delivered from a syringe through the feeding tube. It is also known as syringe feeding or gravity feeding because of the way the syringe is held: upright, allowing gravity to aid the flow of the liquid. Feedings occur every three to four hours. It should take approximately 15 to 20 minutes to deliver 8 ounces of formula. For best results, make sure to sit upright during the feeding and for roughly 30 minutes after.

Continuous feeding uses a feeding pump instead of a syringe. The pump provides formula at a set rate and is usually slower than a bolus feeding. Healthcare professionals may have recommendations for what pump is best for individual patients' situations.

Using an enteral feeding tube can seem complicated and frightening at first. In actuality, it is very uncomplicated. Feeding and administering medication can both be done at home or on the go. There are two types of tube feeding methods: bolus (syringe) feeding and pump feeding. The method is determined by a medical professional after discussions with the patient or caregiver.

• Wash your hands before touching the G-tube.
• The MIC-KEY low-profile feeding tube and the skin around and under the tube should be cleaned once a day. Cleaning can be done with water and a mild soap as well as tissues or cotton-tip applicators.
• Keep the tube and the skin around the tube (stoma) clean and dry.
• Rotate the MIC-KEY gastrostomy tube in a full circle during the daily cleaning process. Make sure not to pull or manipulate the tube more than necessary.
