According to a recent study, PEG pullouts cost more than $20,000 in additional health care charges not including individual physician charges, hospital days, transportation, and additional time and administrative costs associated with these events.1 The vast majority of PEG pullouts require an emergency department visit, a level 3 surgical consultation, a replacement gastrostomy tube and a radiographic confirmation of tube positioning.1 In early tube dislodgement, the stomach may separate from the abdominal wall and the open gastrostomy may leak gastric contents into the peritoneal cavity.1 Pull PEG Kit includes: Traction removable Pull PEG tube 5Fr retrieval snare (1.8mm x 260cm) Universal feeding adapter Bolus feeding adapter SECUR-LOK* retention ring 5ml vial 1% Lidocaine HCl 19G x 1.5 in. filter needle 25G x 1 in. needle Povidone Iodine swabstick packet Povidone Iodine ointment Fenestrated drape with adhesive tabs 12ml syringe Scalpel with #11 blade Introducer needle Looped placement wire Stainless steel scissors Stainless steel hemostat Tubing clamp Water soluble lubricant 4 4 x 4 in. gauze sponges 2 2 x 2 in. slit gauze sponges Suture strand Directions for use Instruction insert, Lidocaine 1 Late accidental dislodgement of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube: an underestimated burden on patients and the health care system, by Laura H.
