Nasogastric Tube

A nasogastric tube is a tube inserted into the stomach through the nose. It is usually inserted at the same time as a breathing tube but may be inserted separately. The tube allows drainage of air and secretions from the stomach as well as allowing the patient to receive nutrition.
