Transhepatic Insertion of Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Tube.

ABSTRACT: Inadvertent injury to interposing organs during percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement is a feared complication of this common and generally safe procedure. Transhepatic PEG insertion is likely an underrepresented complication which may be identified incidentally on imaging or present with life-threatening conditions such as sepsis or massive bleeding. Use of ultrasound in patients with known hepatomegaly may possibly help avoid this complication. We hereby report a case of transhepatic PEG insertion, one of 16 only other cases published in the literature, and review the characteristics of the previous reported cases.

Effectiveness of betadine-coating gastrostomy tube to reduce peristomal infection after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy: a randomized controlled trial.

Project description:BackgroundPeristomal wound infection is a common complication in patients receiving percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). The main reason for peristomal infection might be the oral microbes coating the gastrostomy tube during implantation. Povidone-iodine solution can be applied for skin and oral decontamination. We designed a randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of a Betadine® (povidone-iodine) coated gastrostomy tube to reduce peristomal infection after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy.MethodsA total of 50 patients were randomized to Betadine and control groups (25 patients in each group) from April 2014 to August 2021 at a tertiary medical center. All patients received the pull method for PEG implantation using a 24-french gastrostomy tube. The primary endpoint was peristomal wound infection rate 2 weeks after the procedure.ResultsChanges in Neutrophil/Lymphocyte ratio (N/L ratio) and C-Reative protein (Delta CRP) at 24 h after PEG were higher in the control group than in the Betadine group (N/L ratio, 3.1 vs. 1.2, p = 0.047; CRP, 2.68 vs.1.16, p = 0.009). The two groups did not differ in post-PEG fever, peristomal infection, pneumonia, or all-cause infection. Delta CRP could predict peristomal infection and all-cause infection within 2 weeks (AUROC 0.712 vs. 0.748; p = 0.039 vs. 0.008). The best cut-off-point of Delta CRP for the diagnosis of peristomal wound infection was 3 mg/dl.ConclusionThe betadine coating gastrostomy tube method could not reduce peristomal infection after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. CRP elevation of less than 3 mg/dl may be used to exclude the potential peristomal wound infection.Trial registrationNCT04249570 ( https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04249570 ).

Relationship of early acute complications and insertion site in push method percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy.

Project description:Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG), which is frequently used for nutrition management in patients having difficulty with oral intake, is considered a safe procedure. However, serious complications may occur depending on site of the puncture. This study aimed to clarify whether push method PEG construction at the posterior wall (PW) of the greater curvature (GC) had a higher risk of complications. We retrospectively investigated the relationship between puncture site at the PW of the GC and early acute complications in 540 patients receiving PEG. Early acute complications were defined as bleeding or perforation within 30 days after the PEG procedure. PEG-related complications were observed in 80 patients in total, with early acute complications detected in 42 patients. PEG construction at the PW of the GC in 12 cases exhibited a significantly higher occurrence of early acute complications versus PEG at other sites (41.7% vs. 7.0%, p = 0.001). Further, multivariate analysis revealed PW at the GC to be independently associated with early acute complications (OR 9.59, 95% CI 2.82-32.61; p = 0.0003). It may be desirable to avoid PEG at the PW of the GC. If performed, clinicians should pay careful attention to early acute complications.

Clinical Practice Guideline for Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy.

Project description:With an aging population, the number of patients with difficulty swallowing due to medical conditions is gradually increasing. In such cases, enteral nutrition is administered through a temporary nasogastric tube. Long-term use of a nasogastric tube leads to various complications and a decreased quality of life. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is the percutaneous placement of a tube into the stomach, aided endoscopically, which may be an alternative to a nasogastric tube when enteral nutritional is required for 4 weeks or more. This paper is the first Korean clinical guideline for PEG. It was developed jointly by the Korean College of Helicobacter and Upper Gastrointestinal Research and led by the Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. These guidelines aimed to provide physicians, including endoscopists, with the indications, use of prophylactic antibiotics, timing of enteric nutrition, tube placement methods, complications, replacement, and tubes removal for PEG based on the currently available clinical evidence.

Portable disposable ultrathin endoscopy tested through percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy.

Project description:BackgroundA portable disposable ultrathin endoscope (DUE) with high visual quality and maneuverability would reduce the need for expensive facilities and emergency endoscopy could be available anywhere. It would increase patient satisfaction, prevent unnecessary sedation, and reduce infection. Our aim was to evaluate the usefulness of portable DUE in performing percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG).MethodsWe prospectively enrolled patients who underwent PEG under DUE guidance and compared them with historical controls who underwent PEG under conventional ultrathin endoscopy (CUE) guidance. The primary outcomes were successful stomach visualization and PEG tube insertion.ResultsTwenty-five patients (19 male) were enrolled and compared with 25 gender and indication-matched controls. The most common indications for PEG were aspiration due to stroke or brain injury, dementia, and head and neck cancer. Entrance into the stomach was achieved in 92.0% (23/25) and 96% (24/25) in the DUE and CUE groups, and PEG was performed in 91.3% (21/23) and 95.8% (23/24), respectively. The mean insertion time for the DUE and CUE groups were 22.7 ± 9.3 minutes and 17.1 ± 5.7 minutes (P = 0.044). The 3 cases of failure to reach the stomach in both groups were caused by esophageal blockage. The 3 cases of failed PEG tube insertion were caused by poor visualization of the insertion site. Bleeding and pneumoperitoneum occurred in 1 and 2 patients in the DUE group. One case of fever was noted in the CUE group. All adverse events were conservatively managed.ConclusionsOur study shows that portable DUE in facilities without endoscopy equipment may be clinically feasible.

Continuous Negative Pressure Operative Field Barrier for Combined Open Tracheostomy and Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Tube Placement During Coronavirus Disease 2019.

Project description:Respiratory failure in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with prolonged endotracheal intubation may require a tracheostomy and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement to facilitate recovery. Both techniques are considered high-risk aerosol-generating procedures and present a heightened risk of exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) for operating room personnel. We designed, simulated, and implemented a portable, continuous negative pressure, operative field barrier system using standard equipment available in hospitals to enhance health care provider safety during high-risk aerosol-generating procedures.

Operation of the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy-jejunostomy tube without endoscopy in patients with Parkinson's disease on levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel infusion therapy.

Project description:IntroductionTube-related adverse events (AEs) occur frequently in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) receiving levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel therapy. Endoscopy has become evasive since the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This study aimed to evaluate methods that use the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy-jejunostomy (PEG-J) tubes without endoscopy.MethodsWe included 19 patients in this study. The contrast agent was injected into the PEG-J tube to clarify the AEs related to the use of the tube. When the kink of the PEG-J tube was found, it was pulled approximately 5-10 cm. When placing or replacing the PEG-J tube, the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube was pushed into the gastrostomy hole to bring its tip closer to the pylorus before a new PEG-J tube was inserted into it.ResultsThe mean patient age was 63.1 ± 9.9 years, while the mean duration of PD was 16.7 ± 6.3 years. Tube-related AEs included PEG-J tube kinks (32 events), connector failures (20 events), and PEG-J tube entanglements without/with bezoars (9 events/5 events). All PEG-J tube kinks were resolved by tube manipulation with a fluoroscopic guide. In 66 of 85 events (77.6%), the PEG-J tube was placed or replaced without endoscopy. We believe that the use of the antispasmodic agent just before PEG-J operation reduced this rate.ConclusionOur methods were able to resolve most AEs associated with PEG-J tube use without endoscopy.

Efficacy of nasal bridles in avoiding percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy placement.

Project description:The aim of the study was to report the use of nasogastric tube bridles to avoid dislodging of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tubes. Specifically it was intended to see if they reduced feeding time, medical input and costs.and setting This was a cohort study in a district hospital setting.164 patients admitted with conditions causing acutely impaired swallowing.140 of 164 patients referred received a NGT bridle.Of these, 49 (35%) died by 28 days and 68 (48.6%) at 1 year; 73 (52.1%) had regained adequate oral intake at 28 days and 27 (19.2%) had proceeded to PEG. Of those not bridled, nine (37.5%) died by 28 days and 10 (41.7%) at 1 year with the remainder eating. There was no significant difference in mortality between groups. There were no complications attributed to bridles.We conclude that nasogastric bridles are safe and represent an appropriate method to maintain nutrition while seeing if the underlying disease process will stabilise in these critically ill patients. They have the benefits of avoiding unnecessary PEG and the associated complications and cost.

Clinical implementation of a new antibiotic prophylaxis regimen for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy.

Project description:This study was undertaken to test the extent to which a new antibiotic prophylaxis regimen for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG), identified as a justified and simpler alternative to conventional regimen in a randomised clinical trial, has been adopted in clinical practice. A Swedish nationwide implementation survey, conducted in February 2013, assessed the level of clinical implementation of a 20 ml dose of oral solution of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim deposited in the PEG catheter immediately after insertion. All hospitals inserting at least five PEGs annually were identified from the Swedish Patient Registry. A clinician involved in the PEG insertions at each hospital participated in a structured telephone interview addressing their routine use of antibiotic prophylaxis. All Swedish hospitals inserting PEGs (n=60). Representatives of PEG insertions at each of the 60 eligible hospitals participated (100% participation). Use of routine antibiotic prophylaxis for PEG. A total of 32 (53%) of the 60 hospitals had adopted the new regimen. It was more frequently adopted in university hospitals (67%) than in community hospitals (41%). An annual total of 1813 (70%) of 2573 patients received the new regimen. Higher annual hospital volume was associated with a higher level of adoption of the new regimen (80% in the highest vs 31% in the lowest). The clinical implementation of the new antibiotic prophylaxis regimen for PEG was high and rapid (70% of all patients within 3 years), particularly in large hospitals.

Outcomes following percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy versus fluoroscopic procedures in the Medicare population.

Project description:BackgroundIn the United States, few high-quality manuscripts have directly compared the complication profiles of percutaneous endoscopic versus fluoroscopic gastrostomy. Thus, it is our goal to compare these 2 common procedures to better understand their efficacy and complication profiles.Materials and methodsA retrospective analysis of patient records from Medicare parts A/B from 2007 to 2012 was used to identify percutaneous fluoroscopic gastrostomy and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy procedures. Patient demographics were stratified by age, sex, comorbidities, and complications.ResultsA total of 258,641 patients were found to have either percutaneous fluoroscopic gastrostomy (26,477, 10.2%) or percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (232,164, 89.8%). Percutaneous fluoroscopic gastrostomy experienced greater rates for all complications queried. Multivariate analysis revealed that the percutaneous fluoroscopic gastrostomy cohort had statistically significant increased odds for short-term complications, such as ileus (odds ratio 1.4, 95% confidence interval 1.22-1.54), mechanical (odds ratio 2.4, 95% confidence interval 2.28-2.58), wound infection (odds ratio 1.4, 95% confidence interval 1.24-1.52), persistent fistula after tube removal (odds ratio 1.9, 95% confidence interval 1.78-2.12), and other complications (odds ratio 2.2, 95% confidence interval 2.03-2.37), and long-term complications, including abdominal wall pain (odds ratio 1.4, 95% confidence interval 1.33-1.44), wound infection (odds ratio 1.1, 95% confidence interval 1.01-1.15), and persistent fistula after tube removal (odds ratio 1.8, 95% confidence interval 1.72-1.87).ConclusionGastrostomy tubes are more frequently being placed via percutaneous endoscopic and fluoroscopic methods. This study suggests that those undergoing fluoroscopic placement have higher odds of developing short- and long-term postoperative complications.
