Abstract

Placement of nasogastric tubes are common procedures in neonatal departments, but there is a risk of severe complications although it is considered an innocuous procedure. This case report describes accidental endobronchial tube displacement in a mature neonate despite using clinically recommended methods of verification. It illustrates how symptoms of tube displacement can be disregarded, especially in critically ill neonates. Radiologic examination is the recommended method to ensure tube position but it cannot be used as daily practice. Commonly used methods of bedside verification are discussed.

Abstract

Uncontrollable hemorrhage from esophageal varicose veins in portal hypertension and cirrhosis of the liver may be treated with a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube. A case of ventricular fibrillation caused by a misplaced Sengstaken-Blakemore tube is described. Patients with a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube in place should be checked by a trained nurse for early signs of misplacement of the tube.
