Core Tip

Core tip: A novel bedside visual nasojejunal tube placement technique was used in a patient with prone-ventilated COVID-19, utilizing real-time imaging to ensure accurate placement. This approach reduced procedural time, enhanced safety by minimizing the need for X-ray confirmation, and improved patient outcomes through timely enteral nutrition.
