Following feeding tube placement, radiographs are obtained to confirm placement in the GI tract below the diaphragm. If a tube is misplaced within the tracheobronchial tree, it most commonly ends up in the right lung because the right bronchus has a more direct origin than the left bronchus. If a tube is within the lung or the pleural space, a follow-up radiograph after tube removal/repositioning should be obtained to exclude a pneumothorax.
