Nasogastric tube syndrome is a rare but serious and potentially life-threatening complication of nasogastric intubation. It should be considered in all patients who present with pain, hoarseness, or shortness of breath after nasogastric intubation or extubation. It requires prompt treatment and close follow-up.
Nasogastric (NG) intubation is a procedure during which a thin, plastic tube is inserted through the nostril, down the esophagus, and into the stomach. Once an NG tube is in place, healthcare providers can deliver food and medicine directly to the stomach or remove substances from it. Nasogastric (NG) intubation is most often used to deliver food and medicine to a patient when they are unable to eat or swallow. Patients most likely to need an NG tube include: 1  comatose patients. 2  patients with neck or facial injuries, or recent surgeries. 3  patients breathing with the assistance of a mechanical ventilator.
