Guest guest Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Hello, I was wondering if anyone out there either has/is willing to share/or knows where I can get some information to give to patients/familys about PEG tube placements. We currently have a patient that is unable/no longer eating and the family is debating between PEG placement or pallative care. I thought if I would get or create some informational handouts on PEG tubes then this may help with decisions in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
