To compare efficacy and safety of a new modified post-pyloric feeding tube bedside catheterization with Corpak 10-10-10 protocol and electromagnetic guided catheterization for treatment of patients with dysphagia and at high-risk of aspiration pneumonia. We conducted a single-center, single-blinded, and randomized controlled clinical trial. A total of 63 patients were treated with the non-gravity type CORFLO gastrointestinal feeding tube between 2017.1 and 2019.1 using different procedures: in the M group, patients underwent modified post-pyloric feeding tube bedside placement; in C group, patients underwent conventional Corpak protocol; in EM group, patients received standard electromagnetic guided tube placement.

Modified post-pyloric feeding tube bedside catheterization as an optimized bedside blind post-pyloric tube placement, significantly shortened the time for passing pylorus without causing any severe adverse reactions.
The success rate of NIT placement
The successful catheterization was defined when the catheter tip was placed behind the pylorus.
Time frame: 2019.10
Operation time of tube insertion
The time spent on the catheterization.
