lüll Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy Hussain A; Woolfrey S; Massey J; Geddes A; Cox JPostgrad Med J 1996[Oct]; 72 (852): 581-5Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is now the technique of choice for patients requiring long-term enteral feeding. It is a good method for feeding patients with neurological dysphagia and can safely be kept in situ for long periods. PEG feeding requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving doctors, nurses, pharmacists, speech therapists, dieticians and carers. The insertion of a PEG, which requires two operators and two endoscopy nurses, is described in full. Feeding can commence after a few hours. Various types of feed and feed-ing patterns are described and their relative merits discussed. Although psychological problems may occur following PEG insertion, the procedure is usually well accepted by patients.|Contraindications[MESH]|Deglutition Disorders/psychology/therapy[MESH]|Endoscopy, Gastrointestinal/*methods[MESH]|Enteral Nutrition/*methods[MESH]|Food, Formulated/analysis[MESH]|Gastrostomy/*methods[MESH]|Humans[MESH] |
