OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the success rate and complications of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) insertion performed with an endoscopy nurse practitioner, rather than a second doctor, carrying out percutaneous gastric puncture.
DESIGN: A prospective evaluation of one nurse'e performance.
SETTING: The endoscopy unit in a district general hospital.
METHODS: An experienced endoscopy nurse, who had undergone a specific training course in PEG insertion, participated in PEG placement in 50 unselected patients over a one year period. The outcome and complications were compared with 50 PEGs inserted over the same period by medical personnel. A standard 'pull' technique was used to insert a 15Fr tube under sedation and local anaesthetic.
RESULTS: The nurse was successful in PEG placement in all patients. Immediate complications from the procedure occurred in two cases in both the nurse-assisted and doctor-assisted groups. These were directly related to the gastric puncture in only one patient in each group; the others were respiratory complications related to the gastroscopy (resulting in the death of one patient). Thirty-day mortality was 8% in the nurse-assisted group and 12% following doctor-assisted PEG (mainly due to progression of the underlying condition). Outcome at 3 months was similar in the two groups, except for a slightly lower incidence of stomal infection in the nurse-assisted group.
CONCLUSION: The participation of an endoscopy nurse practitioner in the gastric puncture for PEG insertion appeared to be safe and effective and offered advantages in terms of the efficient provision of a PEG placement service, increased continuity of care for the patients and an enhanced professional role for the nurse involved.
