All except one of these studies found that a feeding tube did not prolong life for patients with advanced dementia. Most patients with feeding tubes do not survive very long. Several studies show that 20â30% of patients who get feeding tubes die within a month and 50â60% die within a year.ne of the therapies the decision maker may need to think about is whether the person with dementia would want a feeding tube. A feeding tube is a tube that goes through the skin and delivers food directly to the stomach.
The patient should be kept upright for thirty to sixty minutes after feeding. To prevent complications (abdominal cramping, nausea and vomiting, bloating, diarrhea, aspiration), tube feeding should be infused slowly. The simplest method of infusing tube feeding through the PEG tube is called bolus feeding. Tube feed formula is placed within a large syringe and slowly administered to the patient through the plug cap on the end of the PEG feeding tube. In order to meet a patientâs nutritional needs, this may need to be repeated 4 to 6 times per day.
