Regular monitoring is crucial to minimize risks and ensure timely replacement or removal.

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 are used for:

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

NG tubes are typically a temporary measure and should be removed when no longer needed. Regular monitoring is important to reduce the risk of complications.
