Introduction to the silicone stomach tube

A silicone stomach tube, also called a nasogastric or NG tube, is a thin, flexible tube that is inserted through the nose and down the throat into the stomach. The tube is then threaded through the abdominal wall and into the stomach. The NG tube is used to deliver nutrients, medication, or other liquids directly to the stomach. It can also be used to suction out fluids from the stomach or to relieve gas buildup in the intestines. The silicone stomach tube is a relatively new medical device. It was first introduced in the early 1990s and has since become an essential tool in many hospitals and clinics. The NG tube is made of soft, pliable silicone, which makes it much more comfortable for patients than previous types of tubes made of hard plastic. The silicone stomach tube is usually inserted while the patient is under general anesthesia. Once in place, the NG tube is secured with tape or a special harness. The end of the tube that extends outside of the body is then connected to a feeding bag or pump. Feedings can be given continuously or on a schedule depending on the needs of the patient. Medication can also be delivered through an NG tube if necessary. When it’s time to remove the NG tube, this is typically done while the patient is under sedation or general anesthesia.
