Denise S. Richardson RN, BSN, et al. - Although there have been helpful literature reviews on pediatric nasogastric (NG) tube management, there is a lack of evidence with regards to special circumstances, such as at-risk patients with altered neurological status or developmental disabilities. At our hospital, an interdisciplinary Enteral Feeding Task Force was created to address the special needs and concerns of complex pediatric patients.
