“…While dysphagia is most commonly reported in patients with advanced dementia [32,33], it has also been observed in patients in the earlier, milder stages of disease progression [37]. Gastro-oesophageal reflux may also contribute to the development of pneumonia, particularly when enteral feeding tubes are used in the management of dysphagia [38]. While these devices are intended as a lower-risk means of feeding persons with severe dysphagia, their use has been associated with an increased incidence of aspiration pneumonia in advanced dementia [39].…”

“…The presence of a swallowing disorder has previously been correlated with death from pneumonia in persons with advanced dementia [40], and aspiration has been cited as a major cause of death in individuals fed with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tubes [38]. To help reduce the risk of potentially avoidable cases of pneumonia associated with dysphagia and gastro-oesophageal reflux, several measures can be taken.…”

“…Other complications may include aspiration pneumonia, septicemia, metastatic lesions from gastrostomy, device dislodgment, accidental tube removal, and electrolyte imbalance. In a Japanese study of 931 elder patients, aspiration pneumonia was the major cause of death in this group [21]. Prolonged use of prophylactic antibiotics, delay in feeding, and tube decompression after the procedure may be helpful.…”
