Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Comprehensive care of the child with a gastrostomy must extend beyond the initial hospitalization for placement. Optimal postoperative care and bedside discharge teaching are only the first steps in meeting the psychologics and developmental needs of the child and family. The education process should include family as well as community professionals.
