Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Evaluate the positioning of the probe in the gastric body verified using two methods: chest and abdomen radiography, which sets the gold standard for assessing and measuring the acidity of the gastric waste aspirated using PHmetry. This method considers changes in PH in different portions of the digestive tract.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
