Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose was to compare three methods of predicting the gastric tube insertion length in children 1 month to 17 years of age: age-related, height-based (ARHB); nose-ear-xiphoid (NEX); and nose-ear-mid-umbilicus (NEMU). DESIGN AND METHODS: The design was a randomized controlled trial. Children were randomly assigned to the ARHB, NEX, or NEMU groups. Tubes placed high were considered to be misplaced.
RESULTS: There were significant differences in percentages of correctly placed tubes, with ARHB and NEMU being more accurate than NEX. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: NEX should no longer be used as a gastric tube insertion-length predictor. Either ARHB or NEMU should be used.
