Summary

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) was created to replace surgical gastrostomy in patients who are needed long-term tube feeding. PEG has less severe complication rate or mortality rate compared with traditional surgical gastrostomy. However, there are still some mild complications which cannot be completely prevented and peristomal infection is the most common one. Povidone-iodine (PVP-I) exhibits broad range of microbicidal activity via increasing the solubility of iodine. In our study, the gastrostomy feeding tube will be coated with a layer of Betadine before PEG technique.

Investigators expect gastrostomy feeding tube coated with Betadine will reduce the oropharyngeal, esophageal and gastric bacteria colonization rate, followed by reducing peristomal infection rate.
