An interventional study of Ultrasound following X-ray in Nasogastric Tube, sponsored by Yale University. Withdrawn. Open to participants aged 0 Years to 18 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-04-20.
Sponsored by Yale University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Diagnostic
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).
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.

Diagnostic Test: Ultrasound following X-ray
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.
