ecj-12890	Eminente, Dino; Zotti, Sonia; Gilardi, Emanuele; Grandi, Tommaso; Navarin, Silvia; Sambuco, Federica; Travaglino, Francesco	An unusual malposition of the nasogastric tube in the pleural space: a case report 	2024	3	.pdf	application/pdf	1838	92	51	NGT placement can be normally done bedside, although in patients with an abnor- mal anatomy, e.g. pharyngeal pouch, this may be done under X-ray guidance or in endoscopy.2 If the patient shows signs of respiratory distress-like cough, gasping, or cyanosis, the tube may be entered into the trachea. If NGT insertion has failed after three attempts or if the tube has been pulled out by the patient on three occasions, it is recommended to contact an expert team as soon as possible.3 Even tough pH impedance measurement is the gold standard to confirm the correct placement of NGT,4 in clinical practice this is commonly confirmed via the whoosh test (auscultation i.e. introduction of air via the NGT whilst listening with a stethoscope), or by visual inspection of fluid from the tube, and observation of water bubbles.5	cache/ecj-12890.pdf	txt/ecj-12890.txt
