Talk:Nasogastric intubation

message: What happens when a NG tube "doubles over in the stomach"?  Is this common?  Could it cause death?
:I'm not an expert, but I don't think it would be very different from any of the other ways that a tube can get blocked.  It would likely be uncomfortable and interfere with feeding.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:49, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you mean there's enough slack so that it folds over itself and gets a kink? It causes things to be blocked, yeah. It happened to me; all they did was pull the tube out far enough that the slack went away and it straightened out again. --24.46.164.83 (talk) 19:19, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I was wondering if we could expand this article up a bit. Everything had been documented except for troubleshooting, for example, what must medical practitioners (ex. nurses) do if there is nasal obstruction, Failure of Tube to Pass Into Esophagus / Curling of the Tube, if patient is unconscious, etc.

thread_title: Plan of Expansion: Add troubleshooting

message: I just removed user:Dquilliot's content from this article, Nasogastric intubation, and also from Feeding tube. Here are the edits-
*Nasogastric intubation
*feeding tube
These contributions were taken from this source
*
which was a study of 66 people. By the guidelines at WP:MEDRS, it is preferred that Wikipedians cite secondary sources like review articles or systematic reviews rather than WP:PRIMARY sources like a single small study. The study cited was a pilot study and whatever it found is not information which has broad consensus as being a best practice.
I do think this study ought to be cited, but not in such detail, and the content should not be replicated in two places. I deleted the information entirely from feeding tube, but did link the section on Nasogastric intubation to this article as the main article, and I shorted the information presented here from a complete summary of the abstract to a simple assertion of the idea that self feeding is possible. If this information were to have a home on Wikipedia, then possibly that could be done under the highly specific article heading Research on nasogastric intubation if other sources were found also, but I think that this information is inappropriate for inclusion here. Thoughts?  Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:27, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Removal of self-insertion study information 

message: I propose that Orogastric intubation be merged into Nasogastric intubation. I think that Orogastric intubation can easily be explained in the context of Nasogastric intubation. GremlinSA 06:53, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Excellent idea. I only put that stub there so that there would be something on the other end of a link, and a merge would still achieve that and would also make it more informative. User:GKFXtalk 16:35, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: done.. It may require a bit more cleanup.. GremlinSA 06:32, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orogastric intubation merge.. 

message: There also appears to be a type of nasogastric tube known as the Ryle's tube. It's possibly synonymous with the Dobhoff tube. Can somebody (with greater familiarity with this subject) please look into this? Incidentally, Dubhoff appears to be an alternative spelling for Dobhoff.
