The ideal position should be in the subdiaphragmatic position in the stomach - identified on a plain chest radiograph as overlying the gastric bubble.
The body of a thin bore feeding tube is coiled within the left main bronchus, which traverses the carina down the right main bronchus and into the right lower lobe. Removal and reinsertion is required.
Bronchiectatic changes in both mid to lower zones. No new focal consolidation or large pleural effusion.
