title: PEGS in children: nursing considerations.
abstract: The nursing care of children with a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) means caring for the whole of the child with a PEG. Even in the highly technical and specialized field of PEG, the main themes that characterize pediatric nursing are used as a reference guide (Dall'Oglio, 1996).
