It's a good procedure keep on teaching us as nurses

[@nutsidea]

Thanks for sharing. Could you describe IF the tube went into the trachea and not the esophagus, what would it feel like or what might be the reactions from the patient? It is for me to understand what to expect in extreme case when the procedure was not done properly. Thanks.

so useful thank you

[@lecturionursing]

You're welcome!

[@JackBalance-mf2nh]

Thanks

[@jacka3280]

May I ask you said not to keep the air vent below the stomach position but after you insert the NGT I notice you left the Air vent on the patient's abdo which is ablow the stomach. Is it ok to leave it like that or keep it over their shoulder while doing insertion?

[@joanasarfomensah810]
