A nasogastric (NG) tube provides nutrition to patients who cannot eat or swallow normally. It is inserted through the nose, down the esophagus, and into the stomach. NG tubes serve various purposes, including:

1. Short-term Feeding: Provides nutrition until normal eating or swallowing can resume.
   
2. Stomach Decompression: Relieves pressure or discomfort caused by conditions like bloating or nausea.
   
3. Medication Administration: Delivers medication directly into the stomach, bypassing oral consumption.
   
4. Diagnostic Purposes: Obtains samples of stomach contents for diagnostic tests, such as for gastric reflux or harmful substances.

NG tubes are usually a temporary solution and are removed when no longer needed. Regular monitoring is essential to minimize complications.
