Early Feeding Following Percutaneous Gastrostomy Tube Placement

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2017
This study plans to learn more about the safety of early feeding following placement of a feeding tube. Doctors in other specialties feed patients 4 hours after patients receive a feeding tube. However, Interventional Radiologists typically wait to feed patients for 24 hours following feeding tube placement. The investigator would like to demonstrate that feeding after 4 hours does not increase complications and can actually reduce the burden to patients who receive a feeding tube.
