Melody Zhifang Ni (Imperial; Medicine): Risks in predicting the location of nasogastric tubes in adult patients
25 June 2014, 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
Speaker: Melody Zhifang Ni (Imperial; Medicine)
Time: 5:30pm – 7pm
Title: Risks in predicting the location of nasogastric tubes in adult patients (joint work with Oliver Priest; Larry Phillips and George Hanna)
Abstract:
We present a project in which we have applied Bayesian network (BN) to analyse risks associated with available bedside tests to verify position of nasogastric (NG) tubes. BNs are graphical tools for handling uncertainties. The use of NG feeding tubes are extremely common with however high incidence rates.
