conicting data concerning antibiotic prophylaxis for “push” techniques and an absence of SIR guidelines [18, 23, 24].
Ultrasound-Guided Placement
Even though there is no consensus, the technique requires traversal of the mouth, increasing the potential of bacterial seeding and the likelihood of periprocedural infections [24]. Therefore antibiotic prophylaxis should be a consideration.
Management ofAnticoagulation
According to the SPC, gastrostomy tube placement is considered a “high bleeding risk” procedure, with greater than 1.5% rate of major bleeding [25, 26]. Prothrombin time (PR)/ international normalized ratio (INR) and platelets should be routinely checked and corrected if less than 1.5 and 50,000, respectively [25] (Table28.3). Per ASGE, warfarin and clopidogrel should be stopped at least 5 and 7 days prior to the procedure, respectively [19]. Patients requiring interim anticoagulation can be given aspirin or low molecular weight heparin; however, they should be held the day of the procedure. Similar guidelines are prescribed by SIR; however, they suggest withholding clopidogrel for 5 days instead of 7 [19].
Anti-Platelet Therapies
These are becoming a widely prescribed class of drugs in patients with cardiovascu­lar disease and strokes. Requiring patients to stop taking these vital drugs prior to percutaneous or radiologically placed gastrostomy tubes is no longer routine prac­tice, with retrospective analysis showing no increased risk of bleeding complica­tions while taking single or dual anti-platelet therapy [27]. As most of the societal guidelines are 5–10 years old, they don’t reect the most up-to-date practices. Regardless of societal guidelines, pre-procedural laboratory values should be con­rmed prior to placement.

Post-Procedural Care
Immediately after gastrostomy tube placement, it is important to assess for acute (within 24h) complications, like bleeding, aspiration perforation, pneumoperito­neum, and developing peritonitis [16]. Typically, providers will begin with a slow infusion of sterile water on the day of insertion followed by the initiation of trickle feeds to be advanced as tolerated by the patient. Historically, providers have waited 24h prior to the initiation of feeds through the newly placed gastrostomy tubes. Multiple past and ongoing retrospective and prospective trials have shown the safety and feasibility of early feeding, 4h after the placement of an uncomplicated gastros­tomy tube [28]; however, these are primarily focused on endoscopic approaches. Even though extrapolations have been made to transabdominal techniques, like ultrasound and uoroscopic-guided techniques, there is limited clinical research supporting the current practices. Additionally, no formal guidelines exist for opti­mal post-procedural feeding time.
Gastronomy Placement Options
Ultrasound-Guided Gastrostomy
Ultrasound has been previously used in tandem with traditional percutaneous endo­scopically guided (PEG) and percutaneous radiologic guided (PRG) procedures to enhance visualization and/or reduce radiation exposure/dose [29, 30]. Ultrasound has also been proven useful at the bedside to replace damaged or dislodged gastros­tomy tubes through the pre-existing stoma [31]. While there are older reports of a retrograde percutaneous ultrasound-guided (PUG) procedure in both adult and pediatric populations [30, 32, 33], anterograde PUG is a recently established tech­nique with a wide array of applications.
Contraindications
Any electronic implants, such as a pacemaker, may interfere and/or be disrupted using strong magnets [34]. Suboptimal stomach position such as high under the ribs require uoroscopic visualization using insufation [2, 24]. A pre-procedure ultra­sound measurement spanning from anterior gastric wall to skin greater than 4.5cm may make needle puncture difcult or infeasible [24, 35]. Additionally, inability to pass two enteric tubes into the patient secondary to nasopharyngeal or oropharyn­geal obstruction is a contraindication [24].

Procedure
The oral cavity and oropharynx should be anesthetized with topical spray and the patient should be moderately sedated. If not already present, a nasogastric tube should then be inserted for insufation of the stomach. Prior to the procedure, it is important to establish known landmarks, most importantly the stomach and the left hepatic lobe. First, the Point-of-care Ultrasound Magnetically Aligned Gastrostomy kit (PUMA-G System; CoapTech, Baltimore MD, USA) orogastric tube (OGT) should be inserted through the mouth and into the stomach. The PUMA-G orogas­tric tube contains an inatable balloon with an internal magnetic component to allow for temporary gastropexy of the stomach.
Next, the PUMA-G external handheld magnet should be placed over the epigas­trium to attract the internal magnet and the anterior gastric wall toward the abdomi­nal surface, in order to achieve a temporary magnetic gastropexy. Optionally, a gauss meter can be used to locate the internal magnet to ensure appropriate coapta­tion and plan optimal needle entry. Following coaptation of the internal and external magnets, the orogastric balloon should be inated with 20–30 ml of saline. Methylene blue can be added to the saline to act as a visual cue for needle entry into the balloon. Using ultrasound, the orogastric balloon should be placed in the eld of view. Prior to needle puncture, it’s important to ensure the proposed needle track does not traverse interposed loops of bowel, particularly the transverse colon, or the left lobe of the liver. If necessary, the external magnet can be utilized to move the balloon to a more suitable location.
Local anesthetic should be injected into the skin and along the proposed gastros­tomy tract. Under direct ultrasound guidance, an 18-gauge needle should be advanced through the anterior abdominal wall and into the uid-lled orogastric balloon. To avoid tenting of the gastric wall, the needle should be advanced with a short jab into the stomach lumen rather than slowly pushed in. Aspiration of colored sterile saline ensures correct placement of the needle inside the orogastric balloon within the stomach. The PUMA-G pigtail guidewire should be passed through the needle into the orogastric balloon and the orogastric balloon should be deated to entrap the guidewire. At this point, the orogastric tube and trapped guidewire should be pulled back through the mouth leaving the guidewire running continuously from the mouth through the newly made gastrostomy and out of the anterior abdominal wall (Figs.28.1 and 28.2).
The guidewire should be cut from the orogastric balloon, and a 20-French gas­trostomy tube should be pushed over the guidewire through a small dermatotomy into the stomach. Once the gastrostomy tube is in correct position, the guidewire should be removed. If desired, contrast can be injected through the gastrostomy tube and a portable X-ray image can be used to conrm correct placement [2, 24, 35, 36].

Advantages
The biggest advantage of PUG placement is the ability to perform this procedure at the bedside without the constraint of an available endoscopic tower or uoroscopy suite. This allows for earlier gastrostomy tubeplacement in the intensive care unit (ICU), and in the case of seriously ill candidates in general. PUG is performed on average of 4 days earlier than PEG or PRG[34]. PUG is associated with shorter lengths of hospitalstay; approximately 5 less days in the ICU and 10 less days in the hospital [34]. PUG is also associated with cost saving of over $25,000 per patient [34]. Concomitant percutaneous dilatation tracheostomy can be successfully per­formed alongwith PUG [37]. Additionally, PUG eliminates radiation dose/expo­sure to the patient and real-time ultrasound visualization can prevent injury to surrounding organs/tissue.
Disadvantages
PUG has a longer procedure time, around 40–50min, whereas PEG and PRG pro­cedures last 30–40min [2, 36, 38]; however, procedure time diminishes with experi- ence. Magnetic gastropexy and subsequent ultrasound visualization is difcult in larger, morbidly obese patients and necessitates uoroscopic visualization using gastric insufation. Ultrasound visualization is also a challenge with difcult anat­omy including a higher set stomach.

Complications
Access/stomal site infection is the most reported complication of PUG.Mild aspira­tion, abdominal wall abscess, and bleeding are also noted [2, 38]. Overall, compli­cations from PUG overlap with complications seen in all other gastrostomy tube placement procedures. Aspiration, bleeding, and ulceration are known to occur in about 1% of all gastrostomy tube placements [16]. Injury to surrounding structures including colon and liver can be avoided by proper pre-procedure visualization.

Finally, in patients with head and neck cancer, transoral gastrostomy has a risk of tumor seeding within the tract and thus a transabdominal approached is pre­ferred [16].
S. B. Fordyce et al.
Endoscopic Gastrostomy Tube Placement
The rst feasible and readily available alternative to surgically placed gastrostomy tubes was an endoscopic approach developed by two surgeons, Dr. Jeffery Ponsky and Dr. Michael Gauderer, in 1969 [1]. With the advent of advanced endoscopic equipment, it became possible to transilluminate the stomach and “directly” visual­ize the stomach for a percutaneous approach. Over the years, a variety of different techniques have become available, including the “pull,” “push over a wire,” and “introducer” techniques [16].
Contraindications
Prior abdominal surgery, more specically a partial or total gastrectomy, and the potential of interposed organs or anatomical variation are the most signicant technique- specic contraindications [3]. Additionally, obstructive oropharyngeal processes, like head and neck malignancies, oropharyngeal stenosis, Zenkers diver­ticulum or facial fractures, prevent proper passage of the endoscope and are consid­ered contraindications [39]. Other absolute contraindications that are shared among all the non-surgical gastrostomy tube placement techniques are severe ascites, peri­tonitis, peritoneal carcinomatosis, and coagulation derangement. Compared to radiologically placed gastrostomy tubes, a patient’s weight is not considered a contraindication.
Procedure
All methods start with an upper endoscopy to transilluminate the stomach so that a suitable percutaneous entry track can be chosen. Using a catheter and needle, an incision is made in the anterior abdominal wall followed by a small gastrostomy. For the “pull” technique, a string with a metal wire loop is advanced through the needle and snared using the endoscope. Once the string is snared, the endoscope is removed along with the string through the patient’s mouth creating a continuous track from the patient’s mouth through the stomach and out the newly made gastros­tomy. The gastrostomy tube is attached to the wire loop and pulled through the mouth and esophagus into the stomach and out of the anterior abdominal wall and secured in place. For the “push over a wire” technique, the general steps are similar; however, instead of using a piece of string to pull the gastrostomy tube, a wire is

used as a track to push a gastrostomy tube from the patients mouth into position in the newly made gastrostomy [16]. The “pull” and “push over a wire” techniques are similar and only differ in the nal step of physically placing the gastrostomy tube within the stomach [16].
The “introducer” technique avoids oropharyngeal contamination of the gastros­tomy tube prior to placement. This could avoid seeding of bacteria and cancer cells for certain patient populations, such as those withhead and neck malignancies. Like the “pull” and “push over wire” techniques, an endoscope is used to transilluminate the stomach, enabling the placement of a needle/trocar system into the stomach. A wire is placed into the stomach and ensnared using the endoscope to secure the newly made gastrostomy. T-bar fasteners, more frequently used in the uoroscopic­guided gastrostomy techniques, are used to provide preliminary gastropexy of the stomach to the anterior abdominal wall. Once the tract is serially dilated to the appropriate size, the gastrostomy tube can be passed over the wire and secured in place.
Advantages
The biggest advantage of PEG compared to PRG placementtechniques is direct visualization of the stomach and needle tract. Compared to the PRG techniques, PEG gives the practitioner the ability to conrm the needle is intraluminal within the stomach, but also that an appropriate location has been chosen for the gastros­tomy tube tract.
Disadvantages
The most signicant disadvantage of an endoscopic approach is the specialized equipment, including the endoscope and the endoscopic tower, along with the need for a specialized practitioner trained in the use of an endoscope.
Complications
Similar general complications could occur such as bleeding, aspiration pneumonia, and internal organ injury, with the likelihood of any of them being very low. For example, reported major bleeding events range from 0.2% to 2.5% [40]. Overall, complication rates of PEG compared to PRG are comparable at 0–8% and 1.4–5.6%, respectively [39]. Minor differences are seen in a subset of categories. For example, PEG has increased rates of minor post-procedural infections (8–15%) [41]. Tumor seeding is considered a rare complication exclusive to “pull” techniques in circum­stances such as esophageal cancer [42].

Fluoroscopic-Guided Gastrostomy Placement
Originally devised in 1981 with the advancement of real-time imaging modalities, PRGtube placement is generally considered to be the gold standard non-surgical technique [43]. Compared to the other gastrostomy tube techniques, PRG is consid­ered the least invasive with the lowest complication rate [43].
Contraindications
Like the ultrasound-guided technique, the most signicant contraindication to PRG is an unsafe needle tract, for example, secondary to interposed bowel loops. Additionally, portal hypertension and the presence of varices increase the risk of the procedure, particularly in a non-surgical setting where there are limited opportuni­ties to control potential bleeding [44]. Other similarly important contraindications are inability for patients to tolerate insufation, anatomical variance specically with positioning of the stomach, and prior surgical history with possible adhesions and anatomical distortions, leading to a hostile intrabdominal environment prevent­ing safe needle passage or appropriate gastropexy. There are a handful of relative contraindications that don’t necessarily preclude patients from receiving gastros­tomy tubes but require additional consideration and planning. For example, ascites, altered oropharyngeal anatomy, and obesity [16].
Procedure
Techniques can similarly be divided into the “push” and “pull” type techniques. The initial step for both requires an indwelling nasogastric tube to insufate the stomach with air, approximately 500–1000ml. The “pull” technique was originally adopted from endoscopic procedures, gaining access to the stomach via an internal-external approach. Firstly, an 18G needle is used to puncture the stomach and veried with the aspiration of the injected air, or administration of contrast to elucidate the rugal folds. Ideally, the stomach is punctured centrally, in the lower one-third, to avoid the gastroepiploic arteries [43]. Once correct positioning is conrmed, the needle is exchanged over a wire and the placement of a sheath, usually 5-Fr, creates a deni­tive entry point for the rest of the procedure. Depending the patient’s anatomy and procedure difculty, a catheter and wire are advanced into the esophagus and out of the patients oropharynx [43]. If there is difculty in gaining access to the patient’s esophagus or advancing the catheter/wire, an option is to use a loop snare, advance it anterograde through the oropharynx and esophagus, and snare the wire within the stomach. Depending on institutional policy and the practitioner’s comfort, the hydrophilic wire is exchanged for a stiffer wire, attached to theexternal end of the gastrostomy tube, and pulled from the patient’smouth out of the newly made gas­trostomy [43].

Compared to “pull” technique, the “push” technique inserts the gastrostomy tube without the need to traverse the patient’s esophagus and oropharynx [43]. Exactly like the “pull” technique, access to the stomach is gained through a 17G needle; however, it is preloaded with an anchor. The anchors are specialized T-bar fasteners (Cope Gastrointestinal Suture Anchor Set; Cook, Bloomington IN, USA) [43]. Depending on institutional and provider practices, a minimum of three fasteners are placed with an optional fourth. By suturing the fasteners tight, a gastropexy is formed. Once secure, the gastric wall is punctured and a gastrostomy tube is pushed into the stomach after appropriate serial dilation of the tract using a peel away sheath [43].
Advantages
Of all the non-surgical gastrostomy tube techniques, PRG has the highest success rate, close to 100% [44]. It is also deemed the least invasive. Risk of tumor cell seeding is eliminated, bypassing postsurgical or obstructed nasopharynx/orophar­ynx, and surrounding structures are identied in real time during the procedure [45].
Disadvantages
Ionizing radiation occurs and specialized equipment is mandatory. Comparable to endoscopic techniques, a specialized practitioner with the appropriate expertise and skill is required.
Complications
Reportedly PRG has the lowest rate, in the range of 0–6%, compared to up to 9.4% and 19.9% for endoscopic and surgical approaches, respectively [39, 46].
