Figure 3 When the balloon is inflated upon insertion of the tube to the 30-cm depth mark (in the middle of the esophagus), the patient’s oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry should not drop. If the tube has been inserted into the trachea, oxygen saturation will drop by at least 5 percentage points. Figure 3. When the balloon is inflated upon insertion of the tube to the 30-cm depth mark (in the middle of the esophagus), the patient’s oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry should not drop. If the tube has been inserted into the trachea, oxygen saturation will drop by at least 5 percentage points.

Figure 4 When the feeding tube with balloon has been inserted to the 70-cm depth mark, the stiff stylet must be gradually removed as the tube is inserted farther. Figure 4. When the feeding tube with balloon has been inserted to the 70-cm depth mark, the stiff stylet must be gradually removed as the tube is inserted farther.

Figure 5 The feeding tube with balloon is secured at the nose when it has been inserted to the 100-cm depth mark, leaving enough length inside the stomach to allow for distal migration by the effect of peristalsis on the balloon.

The feeding tube with balloon is secured at the nose when it has been inserted to the 100-cm depth mark, leaving enough length inside the stomach to allow for distal migration by the effect of peristalsis on the balloon.

Figure 7 A radiograph obtained 30 minutes after feeding tube insertion shows that the tube has migrated into the proximal jejunum. Figure 7. A radiograph obtained 30 minutes after feeding tube insertion shows that the tube has migrated into the proximal jejunum.

Figure 8 Radiographs show a tube coiled in the stomach 30 minutes after placement (left) and migrated into the jejunum 12 hours after placement (right). Figure 8.

Figure 9 The feeding tube with balloon (right) has a spiral wire lining the inner surface of the tube to prevent kinking and occlusion. A traditional tube (left) easily kinks and becomes occluded at curves. Figure 9.
