Outpatient PEGs and the "Stat" RD Consult
Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 1:00 PM
Carol Parrish, MS, RD
Have you ever been paged to come to endoscopy for a patient who has just had a PEG placed to "get them set up with feedings"? Then, of course, the patient and family are almost ready to leave when you get there, and want to know how long it will take for you to get things together? Join us for a discussion of how these "stat" RD consults were handled here at UVAHS with great success.
Learning Objectives: The participant will be able
to:
1) Develop an outpatient PEG placement program
2) Discuss evidence for early post-PEG feeding
3) Identify future areas for research
