After a question in the CALS section that I can't answer from experience, I thought I would start a thread and ask here.
I am specifically asking those who have had a RIG insertion instead of PEG - can you explain to me how you are able to use your bipap face mask during the procedure, since all is going down the throat, and how you can actually open your mouth wide and hold it open if you have bulbar issues?
The RIG is being put forward as the better option for PALS here and these questions really have me wondering how it is managed.
