Tension pneumothorax as a rare complication of nasogastric tube insertion: Case report

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This article presents a rare case of tension pneumothorax as a complication of nasogastric tube (NGT) insertion, highlighting the potential risks associated with this routine procedure. The case involves a 76-year-old female patient who, after sustaining multiple injuries in an accident, developed tension pneumothorax following NGT insertion into the right bronchus, causing lung injury. Despite prompt intervention, including chest drainage and surgical revision, the patient ultimately succumbed to bilateral bronchopneumonia. The article discusses previous studies on NGT-related complications, emphasizing the importance of correct insertion techniques and the need for careful monitoring to prevent severe outcomes. The findings underscore that while NGT insertion is generally considered safe, it carries significant risks that necessitate strict adherence to proper procedures and vigilant post-insertion checks to avoid life-threatening complications.
