- The study aims to optimize the placement of Nasogastric Tubes (NGTs) for enteral nutrition by using pH testing with an electronic meter instead of chest X-rays, which can delay treatment and expose patients to radiation.
- Conducted as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with 150 participants, the research will compare NGTs and evaluate their placement reliability, along with patient tolerance and associated costs.
- By leveraging advanced technology, the study seeks to enhance the management of enteral nutrition, reduce errors, and ultimately improve resource efficiency in healthcare settings.
