An Observational Study Examining Adverse Events and Effectiveness of the Nasal Bridle Securement Device in ICU Patients

Nasal bridle securement device (NBSD) is a device used to keep feeding tubes in place. Unlike tape, it keeps tubes in place by tying the feeding tube to a fabric string that is looped in through one nostril, over the nasal bridge and out the other nostril. The purpose of this study is to measure how effective a NBSD is at keeping feeding tubes in place and what effect that will have on how many calories ICU patients receive. Also, the another objective is to measure what, if any, harmful or undesirable outcomes happen with using a NBSD in our ICU patients.
