| Abstract | OBJECTIVES: Improper placement of nasogastric tube used for feeding may lead to serious complications, including death of the patient. There are several different methods used to determine the appropriate length of nasogastric tube for optimal placement in adults. This integrative review of the literature was designed to identify the most accurate method to determine the internal length of nasogastric feeding tube in adults. DESIGN: An integrative review of the research literature (1979-2015) using the population-intervention-comparison-outcomes strategy. DATA SOURCES: The literature search included the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Cochrane Library, Joanna Briggs, PubMed (MEDLINE), SCOPUS, and Web of Science electronic databases. REVIEW METHODS: Two researchers evaluated the literature to determine if an article met inclusion and exclusion criteria. The quality of the evidence was assessed using the Johns Hopkins Strength of the Evidence critical appraisal tool. RESULTS: Twenty studies, published between 1979 and 2014, met inclusion criteria. Of these, nine articles were expert opinion, seven were original research, three were review articles, and one was a guideline. Despite seven original research papers being found, only five reports were about the methods to determine the internal length of nasogastric feeding tube in adults. The literature suggests that four different methods for measuring the tube length are likely to result in proper placement of the tip of the tube in the stomach and all side ports inside it: [nose-to-ear-to-xiphisternum - 50]cm/2+50cm]; [gender-weight and nose-umbilicus-flat]; [xiphisternum-to-ear-to-nose+10cm]; [earlobe to xiphisternum to umbilicus - tip of the nose to earlobe]. Four studies found nose-to-ear-to-xiphisternum was most likely to result in a tube that is positioned incorrectly, either ending in the esophagus, in the stomach but too close to the esophagus, or too far into the stomach or duodenum. CONCLUSIONS: The nose-to-ear-to-xiphisternum and Hanson method should no longer be taught in nursing programs or used in practice by the nurse. The [gender-weight and nose-umbilicus-flat] method has been shown to be safer. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
