Abstract:
(Critical) This program presents the reasons for performing a nasogastric intubation. Precautions are discussed including care in patients with diminished gag reflexes and observance of the posterior nasopharynx for bleeding sites prior to intubation. The various appearances of the nasogastric aspirate are also described and correlated with possible sites of bleeding in gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The presentation is well done and meets its objectives. Thus, this program is highly recommended for emergency medicine practitioners and surgeons.
