Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of aspiration pneumonia and the related risk factors among patients without endotracheal intubation or mechanical ventilation, with nasogastric tubal feeding.
Methods: Twenty-two patients administrated in one hospital were participated in this study. A prospective study was done from 27th of August to 10th of November 2013.
Results: Aspiration pneumonia was diagnosed in 25.0% of the tube fed patients. The independent factor for incidence of aspiration pneumonia was patient’s body position during tubal feeding.
