Reporting of Malposition of Lines and Tubes on Portable Radiographs Using Alert Notification of Critical Results

Line malposition may result in significant iatrogenic complications. Awareness of the most common types of line malposition and the frequency of significant line-related complications is an important reminder to the radiologist to look carefully at all lines, especially the devices that are most commonly subject to malposition. Alert Notification of Critical Results (ANCR) are computer-generated pages or e-mails created by the radiologist to inform referring clinicians of significant radiologic findings.
