Association between a 6‐h feeding protocol and postprocedure hospital length of stay following percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy in hospitalized adults: A before‐and‐after cohort study
An expedited feeding protocol following percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy placement had a high degree of provider uptake without any significant change in safety outcomes. Beginning enteral nutrition within 6 h postoperatively at the preoperative rate reduced LOS by >2 days, suggesting that these protocols can address common delays to discharge.
