Abstract
Harm events such as pneumothoraces and pneumonia continue to be associated with feeding tube insertion. Most bedside verification methods are not accurate to discriminate pulmonary from gastrointestinal system. Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines do not support auscultation of feeding tubes in adults, yet auscultation is the most common method used.
