Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) is a minimally-invasive medical procedure that creates a safe and effective route for enteral nutrition, fluid administration, and medication delivery. PEG tubes are primarily used for long-term enteral nutrition in patients with impaired swallowing or inadequate oral intake, decompression of the gastrointestinal tract, and administration of medications. This detailed video demonstration of the PEG tube placement procedure is a crucial educational resource for medical professionals. It provides comprehensive visualization of a complex procedure, demonstrates real-time problem-solving, emphasizes safety considerations, and offers valuable tips for practitioners.
