In adults, on standard feed, the most commonly used size is 8-10FR. If higher density feeds or feeds with fibre are used then a 12-14FR tube is normally selected. In children the standard size is 6FR with 8FR for thicker feeds or fibre feeds. In neonates 4-5FR is standard and 6FR for higher densities. Length .

If aspiration of gastric fluid following placement of an nasogastric (NG) tube is unsuccessful, then a chest X-ray can be used to help determine tube position. Oesophagus anatomy. A correctly positioned NG tube passes vertically down the oesophagus into the stomach.
