We evaluated an enteral feeding tube with a pH sensor, which allows immediate verification of the location of the tube by assessment of the pH upon insertion.

Nasointestinal intubation with tiger tubes: a case series indicates risk of mucosal damage

Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, 2006
AbstractIn five intubations using the tiger tube (Cook) two were successfully placed into the small intestine. Two of the three intubation failures were due to early death due to the underlying condition. Nasointestinal placement permitted successful enteral feeding. Unfortunately, both nasointestinal placements were associated with mucosal damage that

The use of bedside electromagnetically guided nasointestinal tube for jejunal feeding of critical ill surgical patients

Technology and Health Care, 2013
Background: Gastral nutrition in critically ill surgical patients can be difficult because of gastric paresis and a large number of patients fail to reach required caloric intake. Endoscopic or radiologic placement of nasointestinal tube is frequently performed with delay and may raise the risks for critical ill patients.
