Nasogastric Tube Insertion

A nasogastric tube (NG tube) is a fine tube that is passed through your nose, down the back of your throat and into your stomach. The end of the tubing left on the outside of your body is then usually secured to your cheek with an adhesive dressing. The procedure is usually carried out by a nurse or doctor and takes just a few minutes. Having the tube passed may be uncomfortable but should not be painful. Once the tube is in the correct position it should be quite comfortable and can then be used to put liquid feed, water and medications into your stomach.
