| Popis: | Aim: We aimed to assess the reliability of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) applications and to investigate the relationship between body mass index and duration of the procedure and complication rates of geriatric patients. Material and Method: Between 2011 February and 2014 December, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical data and complication rates of 97 geriatric patients to whom PEG was applied by the pull method under superficial anesthesia. All patients were evaluated in terms of age, sex, PEG indications, and complications, time of procedure, body mass index (BMI), antibiotic prophylaxis and follow up period. Results: 51(53%) of our patients were female and 46(47%) were male with a mean age of 72 ± 4. Cerebrovasculer disease was seen in 41(42%) cases, malign disease which cause an obstruction in 19(19,5%) cases, dementia in 16(16,5%) cases and other disease in 21(22%) cases as etiologic causes. The BMI of the patients were 25±3(17-32)kg/m². The mean time of duration of the procedure was 8,6±1,6 minute. It was found statistically significance between BMI (up to 25 kg/m²) and prolonged duration of procedure (p |
