NCT ID NCT06650787
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether using a bedside ultrasound machine can help doctors and nurses place feeding tubes more accurately in children aged 0 to 6 years who have congenital heart disease. The study will compare the accuracy of tube placement when ultrasound is used versus standard methods. If effective, this approach could reduce complications and improve care for these vulnerable patients.
