A felony conviction, like a misdemeanor conviction, may not result in time behind bars. But felonies carry potential imprisonment that ranges from time in prison (a year is often the low end) to life in prison without parole or even death. As with misdemeanors, states may also subdivide felonies by class or degree.
If a person is having ongoing and serious trouble swallowing and can't get enough food or liquids by mouth, a feeding tube may be put directly into the stomach through the abdominal skin. This procedure is called a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). The tube allows feeding directly into the gastrointestinal tract to occur by bypassing the mouth and esophagus (the âfood tubeâ leading to the stomach). Placing a feeding tube is a relatively simple surgery, but it is only recommended for complex conditions.
To get your liquid food, attach the tube from the end of the food container to the end of your NG feeding tube. This is for intermittent or continuous feedings. Giving the Tube Feeding . 1. Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching the NG feeding tube, food, or medication. 2. Check the placement of your feeding tube: 1  Attach a 60cc syringe to the end of your feeding tube. 2  Pull back on the plunger. 3  If you pull back more than 150cc of fluid, do not give yourself food.
