Implementation of an electromagnetic imaging system to facilitate nasogastric and post‐pyloric feeding tube placement in patients with and without critical illness

Abstract

This system confers advantages, particularly in terms of post-pyloric tube placement, even at this early stage of implementation. A reduction in clinical risk and cost avoidance related to X-ray exposure, the need for endoscopic tube placement and parenteral nutrition have been achieved. The implementation of this system should be considered in other centres.
