A randomized controlled trial comparing current standard blind method to CORTRAK enteral access system (CEAS), an FDA approved electromagnetic device to place enteric tubes.
Detailed description
Patient population would include patients in pediatric intensive care unit, pediatric cardiac unit, intermediate medical care unit and pediatric floor who receives postpyloric feeding tube placements. The study team are going to monitor total time and number attempts required for each successful placement, correlation of findings on x-ray versus CEAS, cost-effectiveness of this new equipment with standard blind method and decrease in radiation exposure with CEAS.
