Rainbow [258]

The nurse's intervention should include in the care plan the possible leakage of stomach (or tube) contents around the tube orifice, displacement or dysfunction of the tube. Other complications inherent to the procedure are infection of the skin around the tube, aspiration, bleeding and perforation of other viscera.

<h3>What is Percutaneous Endoscopic and Gastrostomy?</h3>

Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) is a procedure in which a flexible feeding tube is passed into the stomach through the abdominal wall. A gastrostomy allows nutrition, fluids and medication to be placed directly into the stomach, without passing through the mouth and esophagus.

With this information, we can conclude that Endoscopic Gastrostomy is a procedure that combines endoscopy techniques to introduce a tube that passes through the wall of the abdomen and goes straight to the digestive tract.
