Abstract
- Nasogastric (NG) intubation is frequently performed in critically ill patients. Although this procedure is associated with considerable complications, physicians tend to neglect its potential complications. There is also rare case of the reports of perforation of the stomach by an NG tube in adults. We report here on a case of gastric perforation that was caused by an NG tube in a peritoneal dialysis patient who required NG tube insertion for enteral feeding, with a review of the relevant literature.
