A PEG (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy) tube is generally more effective for long-term nutritional support compared to a nasogastric tube, which is typically used for short-term feeding. PEG tubes are more comfortable for patients and reduce the risk of nasal and esophageal irritation associated with nasogastric tubes. Additionally, PEG tubes can allow for a more stable and consistent delivery of nutrition, especially for patients requiring prolonged feeding. However, the choice between the two depends on the individual patient's needs and medical condition.
