Confirming Feeding Tube Position Using the CORTRAK Enteral Access System
Confirming Feeding Tube Position Using the CORTRAK Enteral Access System
This study will compare the accuracy of the CORTRAK enteral access system (CEAS) to x-ray for the determination of feeding tube position within the abdomen.
In the inpatient pediatric care area (PICU, PCCU, PIMU, ACU), when an x-ray is performed for any reason and a patient has a CORTRAK feeding tube, a provider from the research team will re-insert the small, individualized, flexible stylet back into the patient's feeding tube and document the position of the tube on the CORTRAK display monitor. The x-ray will be obtained by current standard of care and the tube location on x-ray will be compared to the tube location on the CORTRAK monitor. The x-ray will only be obtained as part of the routine care decided by the medical team, the patient will not receive any additional x-rays for this study.
