My Husband Had A Shunt For NPH. He Is 81

My husband had a shunt for NPH. he is 81 yrs of age & has recently had a bronchitis infection which causes more confusion & halluciantions. This morning I noticed that I could see the tube in the area where his neck & chest meet. could this be a problem. I have been concerned for a while that the shunt may need to be reprogramed & now this problem with the outline of the tube is very distrubing.
