Radiographers and Naso-Gastric (NG) Intubation (Second edition)

SCoR issues this second edition of guidance in response to a National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) report on patients harmed following a misplaced naso or orogastric tube not detected prior to use. Radiographic imaging provides an accurate snapshot of the position of a naso-gastric (NG) tube at the time of imaging and is recognised as the 'gold standard' test.
