@isabella.sarnelli: if you know, then you know from my previous videos. Best to strongly advise families to lean more towards palliative/hospice route via proper education so that they can, at the very least, make an educated decision on the matter. Few reasons why PEG is advised against for these patients: 1. High risk for re-hospitalization 2. Does not decrease risk of aspiration 3. Increased risk for infection/PEG dislodgement 4. Decreased risk of socialization during meals (which is important for QOL during these later stages) #slp #slpsoftiktok #slplife #slpgradstudent #slpmexico #slp👌family #speech #speechtherapy #speechlanguagepathologist #speechtherapist #speechpathologist #acutecare #hospital #dysphagia #clinicalfellow #cf #cfy #clinicalfellowship #peg #feedingtubeawareness #NGT #ngtube #dementia #dementiaawareness #dementiacare #dementiacaregiver #dementiaaawareness #medical #medicalstudent #medicaltiktok #medstudent #doctor #doctorsoftiktok #physicianassistant #physician #pa #np #nursepractitioner #nursesoftiktok #nurse
