University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing and Children's Hospital of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Background: Temporary enteral access devices (EADs), such as nasogastric (NG), orogastric (OG), and postpyloric (PP), are used in pediatric and neonatal patients to administer nutrition, fluids, and medications. While the use of these temporary EADs is common in pediatric care, it is not known how often these devices are used, what inpatient locations have the highest usage, what size tube is used for a given weight or age of patient, and how placement is verified per hospital policy.
Materials And Methods: This was a multicenter 1-day prevalence study.
