Chelsey,

From my experience, between the trache and PEG, the trache bothered me more because it caused constant coughing. Needless to say, the trache had to be suctioned and cleaned on a regular basis (I had two trache pipes which alternated between what's being used and cleaned). That was the only problem I had with the trache which, incidentally, was removed much earlier than my PEG. The trache wound also healed much faster (within 24 hrs) than the PEG wound.
