Study Summary

This trial will compare how well two methods - the CORTRAK enteral access system and x-ray - work in determining the position of a feeding tube within the abdomen.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for pediatric patients (17 or younger) who are receiving enteral nutrition and need their feeding tube position confirmed. They must be getting an x-ray for any reason and have a CORTRAK Stylet available in the room. The study excludes those where the CORTRAK Stylet has been misplaced.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing how well the CORTRAK enteral access system can confirm the correct placement of feeding tubes in the abdomen compared to traditional x-ray methods.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves comparing two methods of confirming tube placement rather than medication, there may not be direct side effects like with drugs; however, potential risks could include discomfort or complications from incorrect tube positioning.
