研究概览
简要总结
The goal of the study was to test whether a sonographic examination instead of an X-ray allows the position of a tube in the stomach to be checked.
Participants were patients admitted at an intensive care unit who required a nasogastric tube for several reasons (for example nutrition). After obtaining an informed consent from the patient or the family, the researchers checked the position of the tube with ultrasound and compared it with the gold standard, which is radiography. Data analysis allowed the concordance between the two tests to be analyzed.

结局指标
主要结局
Diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in determining correct nasogastric tube placement in the stomach
时间窗: Through study completion (enrollment of approximately 180 patients)
In order to assess its diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value) we compared the index test (ultrasonography) against the reference standard (X-ray)
