Abstract

Introduction: Nutritional support is very important in geriatric patients with insufficient or no oral intake in intensive care units (ICU). The need for active enteral nutrition by means of nutri- tion tubes in patients with impaired swallowing function, the methods of application and the benefits obtained are still controversial. In this study we aimed to evaluate the problems related with application of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) to geriatric patients who need intensive care. Materials and Method: We investigated the decisions to apply PEG to geriatric patients in the ICU, the delays in the process of its application and the infection rates retrospectively. Results: We evaluated data from the records of 172 geriatric patients who were admitted to ICU in one year. PEG was applied to 14 patients (8.1%). The mean age of the patients was 76.7±8.1. Twelve patients had neurological comorbidities such as dementia and cerebrovascular events. Nutritional intolerance developed in one patient, following PEG. The mean duration between admission and the decision for PEG was 12.5±8.4 days. The mean duration between the decision and application of PEG was 8.6±5.4 days. The mean duration of stay ICU stay was 40.3±19.7 days. Ventilator-associated pneumonia developed before PEG application in 8 patients and after PEG application in 1 patient. Conclusion: PEG provides reliable long term nutritional support for geriatric patients, with low complication and infection rates, and should be applied as an early intervention.

Özet

Giriş: Beslenme desteği, oral alımı olmayan ya da yetersiz olan geriatrik yoğun bakım hastalarında oldukça önemlidir. Yutma refleksi bozulmuş olgularda yutma fonksiyonunun bypass edilerek beslenme tüpleri yardımı ile aktif enteral beslenme uygulamalarının gerekliliği, nasıl uygulanacağı ve uygulanacak işlemin kazanımları hala tartışmalıdır. Bu çalışmada kritik bakım gereken geriatrik olgularda perkutan endoskopik gastrostomi (PEG) ile ilişkili sorunlar incelenmiştir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatan ileri yaş hastalara PEG uygulama kararları ve uygulama sürecindeki gecikmeler, enfeksiyon oranları retrospektif olarak incelendi.Bulgular: Yoğun bakım ünitesinde bir yılda yatan geriatrik yaş grubundaki 172 hastanın dosyası incelendi. Hastalardan 14'üne (%8.1) PEG takıldı. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 76.7±8.1 idi. PEG takılan hastalardan 12'si demans, serebrovasküler olay gibi eşlik eden nörolojik hastalıkları vardı. PEG sonrasında 1 hastada beslenme intoleransı gelişti. Hastalara PEG takılma kararı yatıştan itibaren ortalama 12.5±8.4 günde alındı. PEG takılma kararı alındıktan sonra PEG takılana kadar geçen süre ortalama 8.6± 5.4 gün olarak saptandı. PEG takılan hastaların 8'inde işlem öncesi, 1'inde ventilatör ilişkili pnömoni gelişti. Hastaların yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatış süresi ortalama 40.3±19.7 gündü.Sonuç: PEG uygulaması, geriatrik hastaların uzun süreli nütrisyonel destek gereksinimini güvenli bir şekilde sağlanması, uygulanım kolaylığı, düşük komplikasyon ve enfeksiyon oranı nedeni ile erken dönemde uygulanması gereken bir yöntemdir.
