- Abstract
- The use of an uncuffed endotracheal tube for the placement of nasogastric tubes during surgery is not a procedure free of any risk. We report a rare case of gastric foreign body secondary to this procedure. A 67-year-old patient who had underwent a coronary bypass for a three vessels disease two years before complained of postprandial epigastralgia lasting for a few months. The investigations reported a gastric ulcer associated with a tubular gastric foreign body. The endoscopic extraction found an endotracheal tube. It is a common habit in our institution to use this method when placing this tube through a nostril in order to ease the nasogastric tube insertion when it is difficult.
