Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare two methods of nasogastric/oral gastric (NG/OG) tube placement for efficacy and safety in the placement of NG/OG tube in infants less than 6 months of age. One method is based on the infant's length determined by measurement using a length board and plotted on a graph derived from a formula to determine the depth for tube insertion (graph method) and the other method is based on current standard of care, measuring from the nose to the ear and then the ear to mid abdomen (NEM) and mark the tube to know how far to insert the tube. Outcome comparison will be xray verification of placement.
Primary Outcome
During the same day of NG/OG tube placement, verification of placement will be performed by bedside nurse as per institutional standards. X-ray verification will be done in batches (not same day) and read by radiologist blind to insertion method.
Interventions
- OTHER enteral tube placement accuracy
- OTHER NEM method for NG/OG tube placement
