Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
There is growing evidence that enteral feeding tubes are associated with increased mortality and complication rates in patients with advanced dementia. Buried Bumper Syndrome is an uncommon, but well documented late complication of PEG placement. Our case report reinforces this recognised risk of PEG feeding in an elderly, cognitively impaired patient. |
