Abstract
Nasoenteric feeding tubes are essential in patients requiring supplemental nutrition, especially in the intensive care units and situations where volitional intake is delayed. These tubes may easily become dislodged due to patient mental status, transfers, or positional changes. Traditionally, such tubes are secured in a haphazard fashion by taping the tube to the nose, forehead, and cheeks of the patient. Nasal bridles were introduced to provide a better, more reliable system to secure these tubes. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of nasal bridles in securing enteral feeding tubes and to determine if this newer strategy is better than the more commonly used alternative.
