Critical care nurses' decision-making regarding verification of blindly inserted gastric tubes: A cross-sectional questionnaire study The placement and verification of the correct position of blindly applied gastric tubes is regularly performed by nurses in clinical practice.

For Germany, neither evidence-based recommendations nor current data are available.
