Confirming tube position via radiography can delay nutrient intake, increase costs, and expose patients to unnecessary radiation.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In this quality improvement study, specialist nurses were trained to use ultrasonography instead of radiography to confirm postpyloric feeding tube position, reducing reliance on ancillary services. Preimplementation and postimplementation data included time from tube placement to first feeding and the frequency of radiography use. Surveys were conducted to assess the health care team\u2019s satisfaction with the new process.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Sixty-seven placements (30 before implementation, 37 after implementation) were evaluated. Feeding start times significantly decreased by 34.85% (mean [SD], 741.20 [192.73] minutes before implementation vs 482.86 [166.15] minutes after implementation; P &amp;lt; .001). The addition of ultrasound guidance for postpyloric feeding tube placement significantly decreased the number of abdominal radiographs per patient by 56.0% (mean [SD], 2.5 [0.9] before implementation vs 1.1 [0.4] after implementation; P &amp;lt; .001).
