NGT vs PEG tube feeding

by KulRN

I have a question(s) hoping one of you will help me out with this.
What do you guys think about NGT feeding vs PEG tube feeding? Particularly with stroke patients (ove the age of 70 and currently on coumadin therapy).
Which route do you think would be more beneficial?
Thank you.
