Abstract:
In recent years, it has been realized that intestinal function plays an increasingly important role in the treatment of critically ill patients. Awareness of intestinal dysfunction becomes more and more important. Enteral nutrition is an effective method for the recovery of intestinal function, and enteral nutrition is closely related to reliable administration route. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy(PEG) is a minimally invasive, simple, safe and effective enteral nutrition route.
