What is PEG Feeding and Gastrostomy Care? Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) feeding involves delivering nutrition directly into the stomach through a gastrostomy tube. This method is often used for individuals who cannot eat or swallow safely due to medical conditions. Gastrostomy care includes maintaining the feeding tube, preventing complications, and ensuring the client’s comfort and well-being.

- Tube Insertion Aftercare: Providing specialised care to support healing and reduce complications after the initial tube placement.
