First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether extra nursing training can lower complications in patients getting a feeding tube (PEG) for swallowing problems. Sixty adults were split into two groups: one got special education on tube care, the other standard care. Researchers tracked issues like infections or tube problems to see if the training helped.
