Nursing Care at Home
Gastrostomy and tube feeding care at home in Kanpur
Careful feeding and site care for patients who cannot eat safely by mouth, managed at home by a trained nurse.
About this service
A gastrostomy is a surgical opening into the stomach, made in the upper left abdomen. It is done when disease or injury of the oesophagus makes it impossible to pass a feeding tube through the throat. Other patients are fed through a Ryle’s tube passed through the nose. Either way, feeding through a tube needs care: the right position, clean equipment, the correct amount and a clean skin site.
We arrange nurses in Kanpur who can manage tube feeding and medicines through the tube at home, look after the tube site and watch for signs of trouble. The feeding plan itself, meaning what is given, how much and when, comes from the doctor or dietitian.

FAQs
Questions about gastrostomy & tube feeding
What is the difference between a gastrostomy and a Ryle’s tube?
A gastrostomy is a surgical opening in the abdominal wall leading to the stomach. A Ryle’s tube is a thin tube passed through the nose into the stomach. Both are used to deliver feeds and medicines.
Who decides what to feed through the tube?
The treating doctor or dietitian. Our nurse gives the feeds as prescribed and reports how the patient tolerates them.
Can family members be trained?
Yes. Where the doctor agrees, the nurse can show relatives how to feed safely and what to watch for.
What should I do if the tube comes out or blocks?
Contact the treating doctor promptly. If the patient has difficulty breathing or seems very unwell, call 112 or go to the nearest hospital.
