was erosion of the patient’s nasogastric tube through the anterior esophageal wall into the trachea. The finding that the defect was larger on the esophageal side than on the tracheal side makes bronchoscopy an unlikely cause. None of the other common causes of TEF in adults (radiation therapy, trauma, corrosive burn, malignancy, congenital defect, or tuberculosis) apply to this patient. There ...
متن کاملNasopharyngeal tube placement in emergency intubated patients with decreased consciousness with a new guidewire: a prospective randomized controlled trial
Background: There is some demand for nasogastric tube insertion in unconscious or ICU patients. Nasogastric tubes are generally made of flexible plastic materials, prone to twisting and deviation by the tracheal tube, when passing through the pharynx and esophageal opening, making it difficult to insert the NG-tube properly. We hypothesized that NG-tube insertion with help of guidewire can sign...
متن کاملComparison of using cooled and regular-temperature nasogastric tubes on the success of nasogastric intubation
Background: Successful nasogastric intubation is defined as “correct placement of the tube with minimum number of attempts” which is an important issue in nasogastric intubation. Due to controversies in the use of cold tubes in nasogastric tube insertion, need for research in this area seems necessary. Aim: To compare the effect of using cold versus regular-temperature nasogastric tubes on succ...
متن کاملEsophageal Perforation Due to Nasogastric Tube Insertion: A Case Report
Introduction: A Nasogastric (NG) tube insertion is a common technique in all neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). In some cases, NG insertion in infants with friable esophageal tissues may lead to some adverse side-effects, although such problems are not commonly seen. Esophageal perforation is a rare but known complication associated with this procedure. Methods: An infant (first child), we...
