“…Sezer et al (2020) observed that 66.7% of the caregivers turned the tube's plate (Sezer et al, 2020). Unlike our research, another study observed that the rotation of the tube's plate during PEG tube dressing was checked by 100% of the parents of children with a PEG tube (Pars, 2016). In the research conducted by Esenay et al (2016), 80% of the mothers reported that they encountered problems with PEG dressings during home monitoring of 26 children fed through a PEG tube.…”

T he most preferred type of enteral nutrition for the medium and long term nutritional assistance is through percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tubes due to ease of insertion and low complication risks (Akıncı, 2011;Ekin, Uçmak, Oruç, Tuncer, & Yalçın, 2015). Therefore, determining caregivers' awareness about PEG tube feeding and care practices can help nurses with developing educational programs and effective strategies for safe enteral feeding by informal caregivers. BackgroundKnowledge of feeding standards and PEG treatment protocols for patients fed enterally by caregivers is of great importance for proper nutrition and prevention of potential early-stage complications (Heuschkel

“…Observations showed that caregivers administered >1 medication at the same time and did not check tube location and patency prior to feeding. Pars reported that caregivers reinserted the tube in case of tube dislodgement, mixed medications with feeding formula, and administered >1 medication at the same time. In this study, caregivers’ errors in tube feeding and medication administration and lack of knowledge of PEG tube care might be the cause of tube‐related complications.…”

“…They also suffer from insufficient PEG training. 14,18 Identifying post-discharge problems and PEG patients' caregivers' needs and searching for solutions are crucial to improving the quality of life of both patients and caregivers. We believe that the results of this study will contribute to the improvement of patients' and caregivers' post-discharge life and care.…”

Background Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) may cause complications when adequate and appropriate care is not provided. To avoid these complications, caregivers’ experiences and practices must be considered. Methods This study used the phenomenological qualitative research method. Twenty‐one caregivers underwent in‐depth interviews and were observed for PEG practices. Interview and observational data were analyzed using content analysis. Results This study revealed 8 themes and 24 subthemes under 3 categories of PEG management, social‐emotional change of the caregivers, and expectations, and it was observed that caregivers made errors in stoma care, tube feeding, and medication administration through the PEG tube. Conclusion Results indicated that comprehensive and practical discharge training, and home care and counseling services should be provided to effectively address the challenges faced by caregivers of patients with PEG.

Sufficient energy and essential nutrients are vital for normal growth and development in childhood. Ideally, nutrition should be provided orally. However, if the gastrointestinal system is functional, enteral tube feeding can be used when nutritional requirements cannot be provided orally, thus providing nutritional benefits and enabling positive disease management in pediatric patients. Postoperative care in children allows monitoring of the position and functionality of the tube; performing nutrition intolerance, growth, hydration, and nutritional assessments; and performing metabolic and complication follow-ups. Tube feeding in pediatric patients is beneficial and has positive effects in controlling and managing diseases and providing appropriate nutrition in children. However, in postoperative patients, it is important to prevent potential complications, which can be classified into 5 groups: mechanical, gastrointestinal, metabolic, infectious, and pulmonary complications. Important points for managing complications include having enteral nutrition practices based on evidence-based guidelines, sharing outcomes with nurses working in clinical settings, creating enteral feeding guides in clinical settings, providing patients/patients' family with training in line with these guides, and maintaining follow-ups at home. This literature review discusses complications and practices regarding the management of complications after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy.
