Nasogastric tube in critical care setting: combining ETCO2 and pH measuring to confirm correct placement

2021-06-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> nasogastric tube (NGT) placement is a common procedure performed in critical care setting. Chest X-Ray is the diagnostic gold-standard to confirm correct placement, with the downsides of both the need for critical care patients’ mobilization and intrinsic actinic risk. Other potential methods to confirm NGT placement have shown lower accuracy compared to chest X-ray; ETCO 2 and pH analysis ha...
