Ultrasound for Evaluation of Percutaneous G-tube Position (NCT06361498)
Accuracy of Ultrasound for the Evaluation of Percutaneous Gastrostomy Tube Position and Leakage
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare using ultrasound imaging to look at the position of the gastrostomy tube (GT) against fluoroscopic imaging in pediatric patients who had a recent GT tube replacement. The main questions it aims to answer are: * If ultrasound is just as accurate as fluoroscopy to assess the GT position. * If ultrasound takes less time than fluoroscopy to assessing the GT position. Participants will be imaging using ultrasound to assess GT positioning before their standard of care fluoroscopic imaging.
