DC G-Tube Problem

You were evaluated in the Olive View-UCLA Emergency Department today because your G-tube came out. Your G-Tube was replaced in the ED and can now be used as usual. 

Please follow up with your primary care physician as needed. If you do not have a primary doctor, you can call your insurance company to find one.  If you do not have insurance, you can look for one on this paper list or go to the finance/registration department for more assistance.


Return to the Emergency Department if you experience fevers, discharge from your g-tube, redness around your G-Tube site, warmth around your G-tube, nausea/vomiting, or any other concerning symptoms. 

Thank you for choosing Olive View-UCLA for your care.
