Overview

Brief Summary

his study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of bedside gastric ultrasonography for confirmation of nasogastric tube placement in intensive care unit patients, using chest radiography as the reference standard. Sensitivity and specificity of bedside ultrasonography will be calculated to assess its performance in this clinical setting.

  • •Written informed consent obtained from the patient or a legally authorized representative

Exclusion Criteria

  • •Refusal to participate in the study
  • •Age \< 18 years

  • •Facial trauma
  • •Basilar skull fracture
  • •Esophageal obstruction
  • •Recent upper gastrointestinal surgery
  • •Presence of wounds, burns, or surgical dressings in the epigastric region that preclude adequate ultrasonographic evaluation

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Diagnostic accuracy of bedside gastric ultrasonography for confirmation of nasogastric tube placement

Time Frame: Immediately after nasogastric tube placement

Diagnostic accuracy of bedside gastric ultrasonography will be assessed by calculating sensitivity and specificity using chest radiography as the reference standard.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Agreement between bedside gastric ultrasonography and chest radiography(Immediately after nasogastric tube placement)
  • Time to confirmation of nasogastric tube placement(From tube insertion to confirmation)
