AB  - Nasogastric  (NG)  intubation  is  a  commonly  performed  procedure  in  the  Emergency  Department.1  Its  use  as  a  conduit  into  the  stomach  was  first  popularized  in  the  early  twentieth  century  mainly  through  the  efforts  of  Dr.  Levin.  Clinicians  have  since  studied  its  use,  proposed  methods  to  improve  the  ease  with  which  the  NG  tube  is  inserted,  and  determined  ways  to  diminish  the  incidence  of  potentially  lethal  complications.  A  NG  tube  is  often  placed  in  patients  who  have  a  bowel  obstruction,  intoxication,  intractable  nausea  and  vomiting,  significant  trauma,  or  upper  gastrointestinal  (GI)  bleeding  or  who  are  endotracheally  intubated.  The  procedure  is  rapid,  simple,  and  straightforward.  The  insertion  of  an  NG  tube  is  slowly  decreasing.2-7
