History of Changes

Purpose

In patients with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) delayed gastric emptying has been speculated as a cause of aspiration pneumonia. Elemental diet may facilitate gastric emptying in PEG patients as compared with regular liquid enteral nutrients, resulting in the prevention of aspiration pneumonia.

Condition	Intervention
Postprocedural Delayed Gastric Emptying	Other: Elental


Study Type:	Interventional
Study Design:	Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment Masking: Single Blind (Outcomes Assessor) Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title:	The Comparative Study of Elemental Diet and Regular Liquid Diet on Gastric Emptying in Patients With Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy
