Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 304326 0
To compare the efficacy of local anesthesia using lidocaine (2%) or ropivacaine (0.75%) in the placement of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) in patients with tumors of the head and neck, using a visual analog scale for pain at PEG site in the first 24h after PEG procedure.


Timepoint [1] 304326 0
24h after procedure
Secondary outcome [1] 341586 0
The composite secondary outcome of usage of systemic analgesia after PEG placement will be assessed by: the number, the timing and the doses of systemic analgesia in the first 24h after PEG placement, using hospital records.
