Gastrostomy Tube Infection. Gastrostomy tube is the best option for long term enteral nutrition. The time it actually takes for a tract to mature is variable and based on the individual. If patient has granulation tissue around the previously placed g tube the infection may be exacerbated. Our aim is the knowledge of the number and type of gastrostomy tubes and its main indication in our hospital.
A percutaneous endoscopic gastronomy peg tube must be surgically inserted through the abdominal wall and into the stomach. These tubes should only be inserted if they extend meaningful life in patients. Our aim is the knowledge of the number and type of gastrostomy tubes and its main indication in our hospital. Percutaneous gastrostomy tubes can produce life threatening infections and deserve serious attention by icps in hospitals long term care facilities and home care services. If patient has granulation tissue around the previously placed g tube the infection may be exacerbated. The mature tract occurs when the layers of abdominal wall peritoneum and stomach adhere to each other.

The mature tract occurs when the layers of abdominal wall peritoneum and stomach adhere to each other. Complications of gastrostomy tube placement may be minor wound infection minor bleeding or major necrotizing fasciitis colocutaneous fistula. The mature tract occurs when the layers of abdominal wall peritoneum and stomach adhere to each other. The reported rates of complications following percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy peg tube placement vary from 16 to 70 percent 1 5. Early manipulation of the tract runs the risk of disruption of the tract and creating false tract. If patient has granulation tissue around the previously placed g tube the infection may be exacerbated.
