Interpretation of the Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Nursing Management of Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy and Jejunostomy in adult patients
Abstract
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) and percutaneous endoscopic Jejunostomy (PEJ) are common channels for enteral nutrition input. In the past five years, there are no relevant nursing guidelines and reviews in China. In August 2018, Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society (WOCN) issued the Clinical Practice Guidelines for Nursing Management of Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy and Jejunostomy in Adults, including preoperative preparation, surgical procedure and postoperative monitoring of gastrostomy and Jejunostomy. The management of enteral nutrition tube, the use of enteral nutrition and drugs, the prevention of medication errors, the treatment of early and late complications, the education of patients and their caregivers, and the replacement of catheters are all recommended. This article interpreted the guideline in order to provide reference for clinical nursing of gastrostomy and Jejunostomy. \n \n \nKey words: \nPercutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy;\xa0Percutaneous endoscopic Jejunostomy;\xa0Nursing care;\xa0Enteral nutrition;\xa0Guidelines;\xa0Interpretation
