PEG feed

Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) feeding is a medical procedure designed to provide nutrition and hydration to individuals who are unable to consume food or liquids orally due to various medical conditions. It involves the insertion of a feeding tube directly into the stomach through a small incision made in the abdomen.

Functionality and Nutrition Delivery

The PEG tube serves as a conduit for delivering liquid nutrition directly into the stomach. Specialized liquid formula or prescribed feeds, containing essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, are administered through the tube to ensure that individuals receive the required nourishment for optimal health.

Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) feeding is a valuable intervention that ensures individuals with feeding difficulties receive the necessary nutrition and hydration. It offers a lifeline for sustaining health and well-being in individuals facing challenges with oral intake.
