Objective: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a procedure performed for nutrition in patients whose gastrointestinal system functions are impaired. This study aimed to evaluate patients who were treated in our clinic and underwent PEG. Materials and Methods: Patients older than 18 years who underwent PEG between November 2013 and November 2015 were studied. Patient follow-up forms and hospital electronic records were analysed retrospectively. Results: Overall, 117 patients were enrolled, including 47 (40%) male patients. The mean Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score was 20±8; mean age, 72±15 years; mean length of stay, 43±42 days and mean procedure day, 14±5 days. About 35% of patients had dementia, 23.9% had malignancy and 22.3% had cerebrovascular disease. The total complication rate was 17%. Conclusion: PEG is a safe procedure and provides patient comfort while maintaining enteral nutrition. Therefore, it is an effective method in feeding patients who cannot be fed orally in the long term.
Amaç: Perkütan endoskopik gastrostomi (PEG), gastrointestinal sistem fonksiyonlarını sürdüren hastalarda beslenme için kullanılan yöntemlerden biridir. Bu çalışmada amacımız, kliniğimizde tedavi edilen ve PEG işlemi uygulanan hastaların değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kasım 2013 ile Kasım 2015 arasında PEG prosedürü uygulanan 18 yaşından büyük hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların takip formları ve hastane elektronik kayıtları retroskopik olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 117 hasta dahil edildi, hastaların 47’si (%40) erkekti. Ortalama Akut Fizyoloji ve Kronik Sağlık Değerlendirme II (APACHE II) skoru 20±8, ortalama yaş 72±15 yıl, ortalama yoğun bakım yatış süresi 43±42 gün ve ortalama işlem süresi 14±5 gündü. Hastaların %35’i demans, %23,9’u malignite, %22,3’ü serebrovasküler hastalık tanısı ile yoğun bakımda takip edilmekteydi. Toplam komplikasyon oranı %17’ydi. Sonuç: PEG güvenli bir işlemdir, enteral beslenme fonksiyonlarını sürdüren hastalarda konfor sağlar. Uzun vadede ağızdan beslenemeyen hastaların beslenmesinde etkili bir yöntem olduğunu düşünüyoruz
