About

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.

Full description

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.
