Summary

This study evaluates the use of tape to secure nasogastric tubes compared to securement with a nasal bridle device.

Detailed description

Patients who need to have a tube placed through their nose and into their stomach for medical treatments will sometimes have it accidentally removed. A nasal bridle is a device where a magnetic is used to attach a small piece of cloth tape that loops around the nasal septum bone and secures to the nasal gastric tube to prevent it from being pulled out accidentally.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Nasal Bridle	Nasal bridle placement and securement of the tube. Instead of taping the tube to the patient's face, nose or upper lip the bridle is a device whereby a magnetic retrieval system is attached to 1/8 inch umbilical tape which is inserted via the nares, looping around the nasal septum and vomer bone and ending with both ends of the bridle (umbilical tape) secured together and to the feeding tube just outside the nose.
