- Abstract
When critically ill patients require long-term enteral nutrition, insertion of a feeding tube is indicated. The method of choice is percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement, known in everyday clinical practice as a PEG tube or simply PEG. When performed in a standardized manner and with consideration of contraindications, PEG placement is a less invasive and well-established standard of care in the ICU., Competing Interests: Die Autorinnen/Autoren geben an, dass kein Interessenkonflikt besteht., (Thieme.
