chest x-ray
Confirming Nasogastric tube placement must be done through pH testing and xray, not by using the whoosh method.

There are three ways of ensuring correct placement: a) By placing a stethoscope on the patients abdomen, roughly in the gastric area, you should be able to hear a bubbling sound when injecting a small volume of air into the tube. This is by far the easiest method, and should be done routinely before administering medicine or nutrition via the tube. b) By aspirating a bit of gastric juice through the tube. If no gastric juice appears, the tube might very well be placed in the lungs. c) X-ray. In many countries this is also routinely done, but has the disadvantages of using too many resources as well as exposing the patients of unnecessary radiation. All in all option a is by far the easiest correct method of ensuring correct placement.
Authentication
A method provides a means for confirming findings.
What is the major consideration regarding placement
The medical term for feeding through a naso-gastric tube into the stomach is "nasogastric feeding" or "enteral feeding." This method is often used when a patient is unable to eat or drink normally.
The correct steps for the scientific method are: Observation Hypothesis Theory Scientific Law
If more than one method shares the same name, the number of arguments provided is used to identify the correct method.
That is the correct spelling for the word "method" (technique, process).
