Abstract

A technique for expeditious and safe placement of nasoenteric feeding tubes under direct vision is described. Adult patients undergo feeding tube placement with intravenous sedation and topical anesthesia. Endoscopic tube placement requires an average of 10 min and eliminates many risks associated with blind passage.
