“…Multiple studies report safe early initiation of feeds after PEG placement (23)(24)(25). Moukarzel et al (25) studied 19 medically complex infants weighing <5 kg and reported that all infants were restarted on enteral feeds within 24 hours. One study reports initiation of enteral feeds as early as 4-6 hours postoperation (26).…”

“…Efficacy was evaluated by time to initiate enteral feeds. Multiple studies report safe early initiation of feeds after PEG placement (23)(24)(25). Moukarzel et al (25) studied 19 medically complex infants weighing <5 kg and reported that all infants were restarted on enteral feeds within 24 hours.…”
Bedside PEG placement is safe with minimal complications. It is associated with little need for ventilator support and allows for early re-initiation of feeds and early success at reaching goal feedings.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
