ASPEN | NOVEL Project

New Opportunities for Verification of Enteral Tube Location Project

The NOVEL Project was launched to address an important issue—what is the best practice to verify nasogastric (NG) feeding tube location in pediatrics? NG tube misplacement can cause serious harm and/or death to patients. X-rays can be used to verify proper tube placement, but with pediatric patients, NG tubes can be removed several times a day. The use of x-rays to verify every tube placement can overexpose these patients to radiation. Click HERE for Best Practice Publication from the NOVEL Project.
