About this trial
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.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Surgical GT placement less than 90 days from presentation
Traumatic GT dislodgement/removal
Recent stoma dilation
Clinician uncertainty about position of GT placement
Disqualifiers
An individual >18 years of age
Acutely ill patients defined as hemodynamically unstable defined as any child who has abnormal vital signs or disruption of vital functions (i.e. airway, breathing, circulation, mental function). Vital signs are based on patient age. Initial assessment of clinical patient stability will be provided by the ordering/referring provider.
