What

What happens when a NG tube "doubles over in the stomach"? Is this common? Could it cause death?

I'm not an expert, but I don't think it would be very different from any of the other ways that a tube can get blocked. It would likely be uncomfortable and interfere with feeding. WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:49, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean there's enough slack so that it folds over itself and gets a kink? It causes things to be blocked, yeah. It happened to me; all they did was pull the tube out far enough that the slack went away and it straightened out again. --24.46.164.83 (talk) 19:19, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
