Nasogastric Tube Securement Comparison Study

Nasal bridle placement and securement of the tube. Instead of taping the tube to the patient's face, nose or upper lip the bridle is a device whereby a magnetic retrieval system is attached to 1/8 inch umbilical tape which is inserted via the nares, looping around the nasal septum and vomer bone and ending with both ends of the bridle (umbilical tape) secured together and to the feeding tube just outside the nose.
