I have an amt gjet tube (18fr, 3.5, 45 length).I am on 18hr continuous j-tube feeds.I
receive some medications via my g-tube.I was connected to both g and j extensions
when i started throwing up, and the tip of the g extension broke off into the tube.I
called the interventional radiology and gi teams, who directed me to the ed.Since the
g port could not be shut, i was leaking gastric contents out and developed a stomach
acid burn on my hypogastric region.Over the next couple weeks, two more g
extensions broke into the port.I had another ed visit, then ultimately needed a
complete tube replacement on (b)(6) 2026 as the valve was broken (secondary to the
extension breaking).I required ed & medical help to prevent further stoma
complications and infection, and to minimize risk of metabolic or hemodynamic
instability as i receive medications via my tube to prevent hypoglycemia &
hypotension.I had several episodes of severe hypoglycemia due to leakage of the g
port (when pushing glycosade) and after the tube replacement, had two episodes of
hypotension (67/37 and 74/45).I no longer have the three broken extensions as amt
requested that i ship them back to them, so i did.The extensions are the 12" right
angle clear dual y port enfit extensions.They were supplied to me that month by
optioncare.Refer to additional documents in i2k.Referenced reports: mw6002164, mw6002165.Annex a- 1069,1250,2921.Annex e- 2144,1874,1912,1914.Annex f-4629,4607.Annex g-525.This report captures- 12¿ right angle clear dual enfit®y-port extension set #1.
