Abstract

The main aim of gastrointestinal intervention is to provide enteral nutritional access in patients who are unable to safely or otherwise consume food or drink orally and have an increased risk of aspiration. GI interventions are clinically indicated by dysphagia secondary to neurological deficits, masses, postradiation mucositis, etc. The two main forms of percutaneous feeding tubes are radiology-inserted gastrostomy and gastrojejunostomy.
