THE RESULTS OF PERCUTANEOUS ENDOSCOPIC GASTROSTOMY WITH INTRODUCER TECHNIQUE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of endoscopic percutaneous gastrostomy using the direct introducer technique. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 34 patients who underwent percutaneous gastrostomy using the introducer technique at Bach Mai Hospital from January 2023 to December 2023. Results: The mean age was 72.1 years, with a male/female ratio of 1.8/1. The mean Body Mass Index (BMI) was 19.3±2.7 kg/m2. Neurological diseases accounted for 73.5% of cases. The rate of systemic antibiotic use before the procedure was 91.2%. Intravenous anesthesia was used in 97.1% of patients, with one patient receiving local anesthesia. The technical success rate was 100%. The procedure time was 7.5±2.5 minutes (range: 5-10 minutes). There was one case of a complication, which involved posterior gastric wall perforation causing bleeding. Conclusion: Percutaneous gastrostomy using the introducer technique is a safe and easily performed procedure with a high success rate and a short intervention time.
