Summary

Introduction: Data using ultrasonography to confirm correct position of the gastric tube is heterogeneous in approach sites, combination exams, and methodology.

Aim: Find the best strategy to confirm gastric tube placement to avoid immediate complication.

Method: A randomized controlled trial was initiated to compare ultrasonography and standard routine method, using non-inferiority design. The study will be conducted in one medical ICU with 59 beds at a medical center. The primary outcome is the correct rate as comparing with the chest radiography in each group. Total 190 patients is needed with estimated 10% drop-out rate.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

ultrasonography (US)

US evaluation was performed after insertion of the tube via subxiphoid approach for tube passing esophagogastric (EG) junction. The tube insertion procedure will be repeated no more than three attempts if no visualization by US.
