Geriatrik Hastalarda Yeme Bozuklukları Ve Perkütan Endoskopik Gastrostomi
Anahtar Kelimeler
In the context of enteral nutrition, percutaneous
endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) has emerged as a method with relatively low
complication risks since the 1980s. This technique involves the insertion of a
feeding tube directly into the stomach through the abdominal wall, facilitating
enteral nutrition in cases where oral intake is inadequate or poses risks due
to factors like aspiration or obstruction. In this section of our book, we
provide an overview of nutrition in the elderly population, including the
challenges associated with aging and dietary requirements. We also address
eating disorders and discuss various PEG methods, along with the potential
complications that can arise from this procedure. Additionally, we outline the
post-insertion follow-up process for enteral tube placement. Overall, this
section aims to shed light on the importance of ensuring adequate nutrition for
elderly individuals, the utilization of enteral nutrition methods such as PEG,
and the necessary measures to manage and monitor the associated aspects of
care.
