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.
