NG Tube Insertion


Today, after class we practiced inserting a NG Tube (nasogastric) not only used for tube feedings but also used to keep the stomach empty so it doesn't have to work. I did ok, but am not looking forward to doing it on a real person. It is very uncomfortable. Here is a YouTube video on NG Tube insertion:
