Abstract
Enteral nutrition in patients is a well established procedure. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy has been widely used to maintain long-term enteral nutrition and has become the method of choice. Under careful observation of indication, contraindication and technique the risk of complication of PEG is reduced drastically. The enteral nutrition via PEG is a step of the multimodal treatment in critically ill patients.Entities:
