RECRUITING

Ultrasound for Evaluation of Percutaneous G-tube Position

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

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.

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:Not specified to 18 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:CHILD, ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Surgical GT placement less than 90 days from presentation
  2. * Traumatic GT dislodgement/removal
  3. * Recent stoma dilation
  4. * Clinician uncertainty about position of GT placement
  1. * An individual \>18 years of age
  2. * 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.
