Preparation for Enteric Feeding Access
Assessing a patient's suitability for enteric feeding begins with a thorough evaluation of their medical history and current health status. In cases of dysphagia post-stroke or other neurological conditions, determining the need for a PEG tube involves understanding contraindications such as coagulopathy and liver dysfunction. Detailed patient information, including past surgeries and nutritional levels, is crucial for making informed decisions about the procedure. By analyzing these factors, healthcare providers can ensure appropriate interventions are administered for safe enteric feeding access.
