Question: what is the difference between ng tube and feeding tube?
Answer: They are often referred to by brand name, such as “Levine” or “Salem Sump” or simply as an NG (nasogastric) tube. Small-bore feeding tubes may be called “Dobbhoff ” or “Corpak” as opposed to a generic term. Some are placed via the oral cavity instead of the nares for patients who are intubated for ventilation purposes.
