Clinical and safety concerns in enteral feeding

Clinical and Safety challenges in Enteral feeding

Around 30 million feeding tubes are inserted annually worldwide1

Between 2-5% of these tubes are accidentally placed in the lungs2-4  leading to a 30% chance of a collapsed lung or possible fatality2-3.

Clinical and Safety challenges in Enteral feeding

Verification of enteral feeding tube tip location.

Radiographic confirmation has drawbacks such as possible misinterpretation, increasing patient’s X-ray exposure (with additional costs) and delaying feeding1.
  1. Boeykens, J Perioper Crit Intensive Care Nurs 2018,

Between 20-50% of hospital patients, including those in ICU, are malnourished.

Malnutrition has significant impact on both clinical outcomes and healthcare systems. It is typically associated with higher infection rates, increased morbidity and mortality, longer hospital stays, increased healthcare costs and reduced quality of life1-2.

What our clients
say about us

The ENvue system provides us with the opportunity to start feeding quickly for patients who may not have had nutritional support for a long time. ENvue gives us the benefit of providing accuracy and safety information. We can follow the tube going down as we insert it and the directional arrows see to it that we avoid a lung placement or hanging up in the stomach.

The support given by the ENvue team to our hospital staff has been excellent. Over the last year with COVID19 making in-person collaboration difficult, they provided immediate backup to the hospital staff through video chat.

Providing early onset nutrition to critically ill patients via the ENvue system has been transformational for myself as a critical care nurse. Ironically, before we had ENvue I avoided the task of putting feeding tubes in place at all costs; now I find myself eager to delve into the technology and become an expert so that I can give my patients the best care possible.
