Maximizing Tolerance of Enteral Nutrition in Severely Injured Trauma Patients: A Comparison of Enteral Feedings by Means of Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy versus Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrojejunostomy

Abstract

This study suggests that enteral nutrition delivered by means of PEGJ is better tolerated than enteral nutrition delivered by means of PEG in trauma patients with no abdominal conditions that preclude percutaneous feeding tube placement.
