Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com with another quick tip for families in intensive care.
So, currently we are working with a client who has their 93-year-old mom in ICU initially with a chest infection. She ended up being intubated and she also has a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) and a percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy (PEJ) tube. And initially she should have been fed via the PEJ tube, but in ICU they fed her with a PEG and therefore she had aspiration pneumonia, which delayed her extubation or still delays extubation to this day.
Now, those are mistakes that can happen, but they also have a big impact on a patient’s outcome. There’s a big difference between a PEG and a PEJ tube. And if someone has a PEJ tube, the reason for that is often that feeds cannot be absorbed with a PEG tube. And therefore the PEJ tube has been inserted and that diminishes the aspiration risk for someone. So in this instance, obviously it looks like the hospital made a mistake or the ICU made a mistake by feeding them via the PEG.
