Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if ultrasound (US), when used by the clinician, can determine the presence of nasogastric tube (NGT) in the stomach of patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).

After obtaining informed consent and the child's assent, a short (less than 10 minutes) ultrasound (US) scan of the abdomen within 2 hours of the routine XR.
