About the Course
With the expanding number of gastrostomy tubes placed in infants and children in the U.S. and the lack of standardization of peri-placement, replacement, and lifetime care, this three-part webinar series will describe the continuum of optimal care from initial evaluation through tube placement and replacement, complications, and the transition from pediatric to adult care settings and needs.
The webinar series will conclude with programming on the barriers to providing a seamless transition for children with complex medical needs to adult providers. Various resources for transitioning young adults with low-profile enteral access devices (EAD) from pediatric to adult services, including a case study will be shared. Operational considerations for an adult EAD clinic focused on replacing and managing long-term EADs, paired with patient education, support, and guidance, will be outlined.
This accredited program is free for all
Learning Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
