A landmark clinical trial evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of capnography for nasogastric tube placement is under way with the aim of generating robust evidence to support clinical decision-making and ensure the safe and effective placement of the nasogastric tube. Our research has successfully recruited participants from general medical and geriatric wards of acute hospitals, subacute/rehabilitation/infirmary wards of subacute/convalescent/extended care hospitals, intensive care units, and are awaiting the completion of data collection in emergency departments.
