Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Procedures
  • Patient Outcomes

Background:

  • Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a common procedure.
  • Evaluating day-case PEG is important for optimizing patient care and hospital resources.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the success rate of day-case PEG procedures.
  • To identify complications and long-term outcomes associated with same-day discharge PEG.
  • To determine the safety and efficacy of performing PEG as an outpatient procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study conducted at a UK District General hospital.
  • Inclusion of 36 patients (28-90 years) undergoing PEG insertion.
  • Data collection from medical and dietetic records.

Main Results:

  • High success rate: 92% of PEG procedures were successful.
  • Early discharge: 97% of patients were discharged home on the same day.
  • Complication rate: 76% had no complications; 21% experienced complications within one month.
  • Mortality: 15% died from their primary disease within a month; no deaths directly related to the PEG procedure.

Conclusions:

  • Day-case PEG is a viable and safe procedure for selected stable patients.
  • No increase in complication rates, morbidity, or mortality was observed compared to traditional inpatient procedures.
  • PEG can be effectively managed in an outpatient setting, improving patient flow and potentially reducing healthcare costs.
