Abstract

A technique for bedside placement of NDT that was used in our ICU and allowed a significant percentage of feeding tubes to be placed in the duodenum without moving the patient from the ICU setting is reported. We believe that this modification for feeding tube placement is effective and safe and represents an improvement of the previous method.
