Measure the small bore feeding tube (SBFT) from the nose tip, down to the stomach, and across the midline several centimeters (approximating the location of the pylorus)

Temporarily secure and leave stylet in place (if present) in tube until abdominal x-ray (KUB) is completed and correct placement is confirmed If tube placement is unsuccessful, notify ordering provider

The primary outcome was the post-pyloric placement of IRIS feeding tubes, as confirmed by X-ray Secondary study objectives included gastric placement, ease of use and adverse events
- NG Tube Positioning for Safe NG Feeding Tube Placement
Should X-ray confirm improper NG tube positioning, waiting for such confirmation is the same as allowing a complication to continue all that time The safest protocol is one that informs immediately, as the feeding tube is being inserted
