Peg Tube Risks. Some complications occur soon after tube placement others develop later when the gastrostomy tract has matured. This can happen in oral or nasal tubes. We aimed to determine risk factors associated with complications and 30 day mortality after peg based on 11 years of experience at a single tertiary hospital. This study examined the safety of placing percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy peg tube in people with liver cirrhosis.
However acute and chronic complications of peg have been reported. Pain redness or bruising at the sedation injection usually in the hand or arm. We compare the morbidity and the mortality difference of p. Peg tube no longer required recovery of swallow after stroke or brain trauma or after surgery or radiotherapy for head and neck cancer persistent infection of peg site failure breakage or deterioration of peg tube a new tube can be sited along the existing track. The majority of complications that occur are minor but the rare major complications may be life threatening. The target population was further subdivided into people with ascites case group and people without ascites control.
We compare the morbidity and the mortality difference of p.
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy peg is a relatively safe procedure. Tube out of body or otherwise obviously dislodged displaced. Some complications occur soon after tube placement others develop later when the gastrostomy tract has matured. We compare the morbidity and the mortality difference of p. The target population was further subdivided into people with ascites case group and people without ascites control. There are risks and complications with this peg tube procedure.
