Complicated placement of a nasogastric tube in the gastric mucosa: A case report and literature review.
Nurs Crit Care
October 2024
Intensive Care Unit, The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, P. R. China.
Article Synopsis
- - Nasogastric tubes (NGTs) are often inserted blindly in ICUs, but misplacement can lead to serious complications like pneumothorax and gastrointestinal bleeding, as highlighted by a case involving a 78-year-old man.
- - The case showed that traditional methods like auscultation (listening for a 'whooshing sound') for confirming NGT placement may be unreliable and are not recommended, with radiographic confirmation being the preferred method despite its limitations.
- - Clinicians should focus on potential signs of NGT misalignment, such as unusual drainage fluid and changes in patient conditions (e.g., hypotension, anemia), and consider patient history of gastrointestinal issues during NGT insertion.

Radiodiagnóstico, Complejo Hospitalario Nuestra Señora de Candelaria, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- Migration is a growing global issue, impacting healthcare, particularly for radiologists who need to understand the health conditions of migrants.
- Radiologists must be familiar with endemic diseases from migrants' home countries and the specifics of their migration journey to accurately interpret radiological findings.
- The article uses imaging examples from a medical center to highlight common health issues faced by migrant patients who have made long boat journeys.
Background: Perforating foreign bodies from the gastrointestinal tract, such as wooden skewers, are reported in the small animal literature producing inflammatory/infectious lesions in the thorax, abdomen, and musculoskeletal system, which can be life-threatening in some instances. Several imaging modalities have been used, and advanced imaging techniques have shown a great advantage in its diagnosis and pre-surgical planning.
Aim: The objective of this study is to describe the computed tomographic findings in a group of seven medium to large breed dogs with perforating wooden skewers and foreign bodies migrated from the gastrointestinal tract.
