Vomiting while using a PEG

My husband's last peg feed was yesterday evening and he started vomiting this morning  (clear and then brown) this morning. He has fallen asleep now. He doesn't want me to ring 111 and he doesn't want to go to A&E

He is going to flush his peg later this morning.  I guess I will have to ring 111 if the vomiting continues.

Any other advice please?

  • Hi  

    He doesn't want me to ring 111 and he doesn't want to go to A&E

    I think this may be your only option if it continues. If he settles down then contact his CNS first thing on Monday. 
    111 May at least give you some advice on what to feed him instead of ensures.

  • Thanks Dani. I realise my heading is misleading. His last peg feed was yesterday evening and he started vomiting this morning. I'm going to check the use by dates on the Fortisips.
