A nasogastric tube is often used along with a nasal endotracheal tube during oral surgery or dental treatment under general anesthesia. Although the insertion of a nasogastric tube is a simple procedure, it can be associated with complications that lead to potentially serious consequences. The knotting of a nasogastric tube around an endotracheal tube is rare. Here, we report a case in which the nasogastric tube became knotted around the nasal endotracheal tube in the nasopharynx. We compare this case with 4 previous similar cases and provide a theory of how the nasogastric tube might have become knotted.
经口手术或全身麻醉下的牙科治疗中，通常会同时使用鼻胃管和鼻内气管插管。虽然插入鼻胃管是一个简单的过程，但它可能会引起并发症，导致潜在的严重后果。鼻胃管绕在气管插管上打结的情况比较少见。本文报告了一例在鼻咽部，鼻胃管绕在鼻内气管插管上打结的病例。我们将该病例与之前的 4 例类似病例进行了比较，并提出了鼻胃管可能打结的理论。
