- 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. and This video introduces the basic methods of nasogastric intubation in situations of serious emergencies. Nasogastric intubation can be vital for administering drugs or suctioning harmful stomach contents. It is important to get the patient’s full cooperation to ensure that the process is as efficient as possible. Several videos of real patients and their doctors are presented, with their methods narrated step-by-step. The video ends with several statements with true/false answers to test the viewer’s knowledge.
