Established procedures for nasogastric intubation are difficult to perform in dogs because of anatomic variation of nasal passages and turbinate structures. Twenty-five clinically normal dogs were used to improve and refine the technique of nasogastric tube placement, and 13 clinical patients at our teaching hospital were evaluated for malnutrition and were considered candidates for nutritional support by nasogastric tube feeding. An improved method for the placement of nasogastric tubes in dogs was used. By pushing the external nares dorsally while advancing the tube in a caudoventral, medial direction, the tube passed through the ventral meatus and into the oropharynx and esophagus easily. The procedure does not require chemical restraint, and the complication of epistaxis was not observed in any dog. Materials required to perform this technique are inexpensive, and the method can be used for the administration of nutritional support, fluids, drugs, or contrast material.
由于犬类鼻腔通道和鼻甲结构存在解剖学变异，既定的鼻胃管插管程序在犬类中难以实施。使用25只临床健康的犬来改进和完善鼻胃管放置技术，并对我们教学医院的13例临床患者进行营养不良评估，这些患者被认为是鼻胃管喂养营养支持的候选对象。采用了一种改进的犬鼻胃管放置方法。在向尾腹内侧方向推进管子的同时将外鼻孔向背侧推，管子可轻松通过腹侧鼻道进入口咽和食管。该程序不需要化学约束，且未在任何犬中观察到鼻出血并发症。实施该技术所需材料价格低廉，该方法可用于营养支持、补液、给药或造影剂的施用。
