ABSTRACT

Nasogastric tubes are being used in clinical anaesthesia settings on a daily basis. Although rare, knotting could occur during insertion or removal. Here, we report a knotted nasogastric tube which stocked in patient’s nasopharynx that was removed by using a pediatric bougie. Clinicians must be aware of potential knotting of nasogastric tube. Pediatric bougie could be utile if knotted tube gets stocked in nasopharynx.
