Comparison of electromagnetic guided imagery to standard confirmatory methods for ascertaining nasogastric tube placement in children

Abstract: Purpose: Evaluate the accuracy of an electromagnetic device (EMD) guided nasogastric tube (NGT) placement compared with standard confirmation methods. A secondary aim was to determine if EMD guided NGT placement would avert potential pulmonary misplacements of the tube.Design and Methods: Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) patients were enrolled if they had an NGT order during the study period of April 2014 through December 2016. Patients were included if they were one through 18 years of age. An EMD trained… Show more

“…EM placement has a lower rate of undetected lung misplacement than blind placement in high-use centres (0.006% vs 0.01%), but it is higher than blind placement in low-use centres (0.35% vs 0.01%). [9][10][11][12] Most errors were due to misinterpretation of the EM traces 13 14 through insufficient training. 15 In addition, interpretation based on manufacturer guidance may be inaccurate in about 25%-30% of cases.…”
