The proposed study will use an electromagnetic placement device (EMPD), Cortrak\* 2 Enteral Access System (EAS™), Avanos Medical, to verify feeding tube (FT) position on a daily basis to assess for migration. The EMPD provides real-time FT placement data. A sensor located on the distal end of the FT guidewire communicates with a receiver unit which sits on the patient's abdomen. Three visual insertion tracings with varying views (anterior, lateral, and depth/cross-section) can be saved and printed for comparison.
