GI Tract
• Oral cavity• Pharynx• Esophagus• Stomach
• Small Intestine• Large Intestine• Accessory
Structures
![Page 3: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Gastrointestinal System• Provides body with:
– Water– Electrolytes– Other nutrients used by cells
![Page 4: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Gastrointestinal System• Function
– Breaks down ingested food– Propels food through the GI tract– Absorbs nutrients across wall of lumen
of GI tract– Absorbs water and salts– Eliminates waste
![Page 5: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Oral Cavity
• Chemical Digestion– Salivary glands produce saliva– Contains digestive enzyme
• Salivary amylase• Begins chemical breakdown of
carbohydrates
![Page 6: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Oral Cavity
• Mechanical Digestion– Mastication facilitates swallowing and
processing of food– Food swallowed by voluntary and involuntary
mechanisms– Pharynx elevates to receive food from mouth
![Page 7: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Oral Cavity
• Mechanical digestion– Esophageal sphincter relaxes, opening
esophagus– Food is pushed into esophagus– Epiglottis closes airway to prevent aspiration
![Page 8: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Stomach
• Function– Storage and mixing chamber– Secretes HCl, intrinsic factor, gastrin,
pepsinogen– Produces chyme– Moves chyme into duodenum
![Page 17: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Small Intestine
• Peristaltic contractions– Chyme moves through ileocecal valve
• Chyme enters cecum• Cecum distends
– Sphincter closes– Prevents contents from returning to ileum
![Page 20: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Large Intestine• Divided into four
principal regions– Cecum– Colon– Rectum– Anal canal
![Page 22: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Liver• Secretes bile
– 600 – 1000 ml each day– Dilutes stomach acid (no digestive enzymes)– Emulsifies fats
• Bile salts– Reabsorbed in ileum– Carried back to liver in blood– Also lost in feces
![Page 26: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Liver
• Metabolism– Helps maintain blood glucose levels– Involved in fat and protein metabolism– Stores vitamins and minerals
• Toxin Breakdown– Breaks down metabolism by-products– Can be toxic if accumulate in the body
![Page 27: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Liver
• Blood Protein Production– Albumin– Fibrinogen– Globulin– Clotting factors
![Page 28: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Pancreas
• Exocrine gland– Secretes pancreatic juice
• Endocrine gland– Secretes hormones (insulin) into blood– Cells need insulin to process glucose
![Page 32: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

As patient swallows, advance tube into and down esophagus.
S C10077/ES C10077/E--6 106 10--9898
![Page 44: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Inserting NG Tube
• When tube is in the esophagus:– Advance rapidly to the pre-marked distance
Excessive choking, gagging, coughing, change in voice or condensation inside the tube indicates possibility of placement in trachea. The tube should be withdrawn.
![Page 45: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Confirm NG Tube Placement
• X-ray– Most reliable if tube is radiopaque– Requires order from physician
• Injecting air– 60 cc catheter syringe– Place stethoscope over LUQ of abdomen– Inject air into lumen of tube, NOT blue pigtail– Listen for “swoosh” sound
![Page 46: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Confirm NG Tube Placement• Aspirate stomach contents
– 60 cc catheter tip syringe – Pull back to check for gastric aspirate– Possibility for fluid to be from lungs or
pleural space
![Page 47: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Confirm NG Tube Placement
• Test pH of gastric aspirate– 60 cc catheter-tip syringe and pH paper– pH < 4 = 95% chance that tip is in
stomach– pH > 6 = may be in lung or pleural space;
could be in stomach if patient takes antacids or some medications
![Page 48: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Confirm NG Tube Placement
• Non-radiopaque methods– Possibility of error– Use more than one method – Passage into lungs frequent; especially in
comatose or demented patients– Aspiration of gastric contents more reliable
• Especially if tested with pH paper
![Page 49: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Securing the Tube• Secure to patient’s
nose– Tape to nose and coil
around tube– Avoid pressure to
nares– Secure to patient’s
clothing near shoulder area
– Blue pigtail must be above level of patient’s stomach
![Page 50: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Complications Excessive coughing, motion, gagging may
aggravate the following:• Neck injuries
– Increased risk for C-spine injuries
• Penetrating neck wounds– May increase hemorrhage
• Tube misplacement– Pulmonary– Intracranial
![Page 51: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Removing NG Tube• Disconnect from drainage container and
suction (if applicable)• Attach syringe-tip catheter to lumen of
tube• Flush tube with 20cc of air
– Empties contents from tube to prevent aspiration into lungs
![Page 52: Nasogastric intubation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443844eb1af9f680a8b4589/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Removing NG Tube• Remove tape from patient’s nose • Unpin tube from gown• Have patient take deep breath and hold
while tube is removed• Pull tube with quick and steady motion• Discard appropriately• Provide or instruct patient on oral and
nasal care
