Abstract: Objective To investigate the nursing points of the mechanical ventilated patients after percutaneous endoscopic gatrostomy (PEG). Methods The nursing approaches of 28 mechanical ventilated patients after percutaneous endoscopic gatrostomy in our department was analyzed retrospectively. Results The nutritional status of the 28 patients was improved to different degree after enteral nutrition (EN) support by PEG. Thereby, the nutritional requirement of the mechanical ventilated patients was ensured effectively. Among these patients, 4 patients could take food by mouth after taking off ventilator and extubation and stoma tube was pulled out, 15 patients were discharged carrying with stoma tube and convalescent care was continued, 3 patients died of primary diseases. Conclusions The PEG is a simple,safe and cost-effective approach of nutritional support for EN of mechanical ventilated patients. The key point of insuring EN of severe patients is intensive nursing and to prevent and reduce the complication of PEG.
