1 hr confidence:
nasogastric tube = NGT Explanation: In US medical terminology, the above is usually translated as: nasogastric tube, or NGT several points about this particular tube: 1. this particular tube can be threaded through the nose (or the mouth) can be used not only for feeding but also for draining the contents of the stomach (blood clots, excessive secretions, etc.). it is usually anchored with tape to the nose or around the neck. there are various kinds of NGTs, with various diameters, depending on the clinical situation. 2. a feeding tube can also be inserted via an opening in the wall of the abdomen and stomach, and threaded into the stomach/duodenum/jejunum (=PEG, PEJ, G-tube) and is obviously different than the above. it is used for feeding and not for drainage. this kind of tube sometimes has some kind of attachment that anchors the tube to the abdominal wall, but not always. there are various kinds of tubes in this category. there are even double-lumen tubes that do both: drain and feed. eytan |
