The use of nasogastric tube is desirable for the short-term administration of calories when oral feeding is not possible. Although the insertion of nasogastric tubes has been described as being easy this is not without risks. An unusual case of malpositioning of a fine bore nasogastric tube into both main bronchi in a patient that was awake is reported. Respiratory complications of misplaced nasogastric tubes and the importance of a check chest x-ray following tube placement are discussed.
当无法进行口服喂养时，使用鼻胃管进行短期热量补充是可取的。尽管鼻胃管的插入被描述为操作简单，但并非没有风险。本文报告了一例清醒患者中细孔鼻胃管误入双侧主支气管的罕见病例。文中讨论了鼻胃管误置的呼吸并发症以及置管后进行胸部X线检查的重要性。
