Nasogastric intubation information


Nasogastric intubation
Stomach tube (Levin type), 18 Fr × 48 in (121 cm)
ICD-9-CM96.07, 96.6
[edit on Wikidata]

Nasogastric intubation is a medical process involving the insertion of a plastic tube (nasogastric tube or NG tube) through the nose, down the esophagus, and down into the stomach. Orogastric intubation is a similar process involving the insertion of a plastic tube (orogastric tube) through the mouth.[1] Abraham Louis Levin invented the NG tube. Nasogastric tube is also known as Ryle's tube in Commonwealth countries, after John Alfred Ryle.
