This 3D animation is for patient and practitioner education on inserting a nasogastric tube. This process, known as nasogastric (NG) intubation helps gain access to the stomach and its contents. During NG intubation, your doctor or nurse will insert a thin plastic tube through your nostril, down your esophagus, and into your stomach. This enables you to drain gastric contents, decompress the stomach, obtain a specimen of the gastric contents, or introduce a passage into the GI tract.

NG intubation is most commonly used for the following reasons: feeding, delivering medication, removing and evaluating stomach contents, administering radiographic contrast for imaging studies
decompressing blockages, and is also used to help treat some premature infants.

Your doctor or nurse can give you food and medicine through an NG tube. They can also apply suction to it, allowing them to remove contents from your stomach.
