Feeding tube placement inside the stomach may be key to safer long-term nutrition

This study looks at whether the exact position of a feeding tube inside the stomach affects how well patients do after the tube is placed. The tube is inserted through the skin into the stomach for people who cannot eat enough by mouth and need long-term nutrition. Researchers will measure the distance from the tube tip to the pylorus (the stomach outlet) and track complications like bleeding, infection, and feeding tolerance. The goal is to find the best tube position to improve safety and nutrition outcomes.
