What this Trial Is About
This is a single-center prospective study evaluating the efficacy of a prototype gastrostomy anchor dressing for use with button gastrostomy tubes. The anchor dressing has been previously evaluated for usability by parents, patients, and nurses. This study compares several outcomes related to complications from gastrostomy tube placement using a prospective cohort of patients and a retrospective analysis of complications associated with gastrostomy tubes. Prospective patients will initially be monitored until they have completed their last dressing change or for a maximum of 50 days. They will then complete their final survey. Their charts will be reviewed for up to one year from their initial gastrostomy placement. The study's primary objective is to determine if the novel gastrostomy tube anchor dressing reduces rates of gastrostomy tube dislodgement and ED/clinic visits for gastrostomy tube complications.
