Home Enteral Nutrition and Monitoring
Possible Physician Objections: Potentially labor intensive Potential liability: High-risk patient care out of direct
sight Dependent on suppliers / nursing Other Concerns: Some clinicians unfamiliar with monitoring
requirements Some clinicians unfamiliar with treating complications

PEG Site Infection
Infection at the tube site is the most common complication Incidence rate ranging 3–30%
Factors that increase risk of infection: Diabetes Obesity Malnutrition Chronic steroid use

Hypergranulation
Hyperplasia of granulation tissue; hypertrophic granulation; proud flesh
“Spongy, fragile, exuberant mass of tissue” Highly vascular, painful, and bleeds easily Inhibits epithelialization and increases risk of stoma
site infection

Hypergranulation (cont’d)
Common causes: Excessive movement of tube Excessive use of hydrogen peroxide Body’s own response to the presence of the tube
Treatment options: Address the cause Hydrocortisone cream Silver nitrate Cauterization

Yeast Infection at G-Tube Site
Fungal infection of any of the Candida species Common symptoms: Pustule with secondary lesions of papules from abraded
pustules and plaque Erythema, maceration, and pruritus Satellite lesions
Common causes: Excessive leaking or bleeding at stoma site Prolonged use of moist dressing at stoma site

Yeast Infection at G-Tube Site (cont’d)
Treatment Options: Address the Cause Barrier cream to protect skin if site still leaking Hydrocortisone cream to manage inflammation Topical antifungal treatment BID Some commonly used examples:
Lotrimin® (Clotrimazole) OTC Blocks the manufacture of ergosterol, a crucial material of the yeast
cell wall, so it becomes leaky and the yeast die. Mycostatin® (Nystatin) Attaches to the yeast’s ergosterol, then forms artificial holes in the
yeast wall that cause the yeast to leak and die.
