“…Although this is a small cohort of patients observed for only 6 months, it is representatives of the conditions for which gastrostomies are inserted and consistent with previously published literature (Elia, 1995;Howard et al, 1995;L'Estrange, 1997;Parker et al, 1996a;McNamara et al, 2000). James et al (1998) retrospectively reviewed the longterm outcomes of patients with dysphagic stroke who have a gastrostomy inserted. They noted that aspiration pneumonia was the commonest complication affecting 18% of their cohort.…”

“…Overall, this particular bounce-back group was sicker with higher comorbidity burden and greater numbers of gastrostomy tubes. Gastrostomy tubes have high aspiration pneumonia complication rates (James, Kapur & Hawthorne, 1998). The high rate of gastrostomy tube use in the one bounce-back and died group likely at least partially accounts for the significant percentage of rehospitalizations for aspiration pneumonitis/infections in this particular group.…”

“…922 Placement of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube is performed to treat patients who will need prolonged tube feedings. 923 Although this device usually requires less care, complications, including involuntary removal of the tube or peritonitis, may occur. 924 The risk of aspiration pneumonia is not eliminated by the use of an NG or PEG tube.…”

Background and Purpose-The authors present an overview of the current evidence and management recommendations for evaluation and treatment of adults with acute ischemic stroke. The intended audiences are prehospital care providers, physicians, allied health professionals, and hospital administrators responsible for the care of acute ischemic stroke patients within the first 48 hours from stroke onset. These guidelines supersede the prior 2007 guidelines and 2009 updates. Methods-Members of the writing committee were appointed by the American Stroke Association Stroke Council's Scientific Statement Oversight Committee, representing various areas of medical expertise. Strict adherence to the American Heart Association conflict of interest policy was maintained throughout the consensus process. Panel members were assigned topics relevant to their areas of expertise, reviewed the stroke literature with emphasis on publications since the prior guidelines, and drafted recommendations in accordance with the American Heart Association Stroke Council's Level of Evidence grading algorithm. Results-The goal of these guidelines is to limit the morbidity and mortality associated with stroke. The guidelines support the overarching concept of stroke systems of care and detail aspects of stroke care from patient recognition; emergency medical services activation, transport, and triage; through the initial hours in the emergency department and stroke unit. The guideline discusses early stroke evaluation and general medical care, as well as ischemic stroke, specific interventions such as reperfusion strategies, and general physiological optimization for cerebral resuscitation. The American Heart Association makes every effort to avoid any actual or potential conflicts of interest that may arise as a result of an outside relationship or a personal, professional, or business interest of a member of the writing panel. Specifically, all members of the writing group are required to complete and submit a Disclosure Questionnaire showing all such relationships that might be perceived as real or potential conflicts of interest.
