Predicting the distance for gavage tube placement in children
Pediatr Nurs.
1992 Mar-Apr.
Abstract
Nurses currently use several external measures referenced to the head and chest to predict the insertion distance for orogastric and nasogastric (NG) tubes. The ability of previously published regression equations on height to predict esophageal length for NG tube insertion was evaluated in a sample of 107 children.
