Abstract

Fluoroscopic-guided nasogastric feeding tube placement is a safe and effective way of adequately placing a NET for enteric feeding purposes. The use of fluoroscopy proves to be more beneficial in some patients, over blind or endoscopic placement. This activity reviews and explains the role of the inter-professional team in evaluating and managing care for patients who undergo this procedure.
