尽管导管放置的放射学确认仍然是“金标准”，但越来越多的证据表明，饲管抽吸物的pH值检测可以减少（尽管不能完全消除）对用于此目的的X射线的依赖。这篇文章描述了这些证据，并讲述了它们是如何获得的。减少确认管位置所需的X射线数量可以产生深远的经济效益。
Although radiologic confirmation of tube placement remains the "gold standard," there is growing evidence that pH testing of feeding-tube aspirates can reduce (although not totally eliminate) reliance on x-rays used for this purpose. This article describes that evidence and tells how it was obtained. Reducing the number of x-rays needed to confirm tube position can have far-reaching financial benefits.
