Is a G Tube removable? If so after when ?


Question:
Even if that person is on life support and has had a tracheatomy...?

It's not recommended to remove until they are off life support & extubated from the trach. When the person starts breathing & speaking without difficulty a swallow evaluation can be done to determine if they can tolerate solid foods.
