Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine if ultrasound (US), when used by the clinician, can determine the presence of nasogastric tube (NGT) in the stomach of patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Currently, the standard of care is to routinely obtain an X-ray (XR) after every nasogastric tube (NGT) placement in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). After obtaining informed consent and the child's assent, a short (less than 10 minutes) ultrasound (US) scan of the abdomen within 2 hours of the routine XR.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Ultrasound following X-ray

An ultrasound scan of the abdomen within 2 hours of the routine X-ray will be performed by a physician blinded to the X-ray results.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Ultrasound following X-ray

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

A short (less than 10 minutes) ultrasound (US) scan of the abdomen within 2 hours of the routine X-ray (XR). The performer will be a physician who received a focused training on relevant US views, blinded to the XR image and report.
