- Abstract
- Tube feeding is used to provide nutritional support to patients who have difficulty taking food orally. A nasogastrictube is commonly used for these patients but there are some complications. Therefore, the oro-esophageal tubefeeding method was developed to avoid these disadvantages. A 33-year-old male with a history of right basal gangliaintracranial hemorrhage was admitted to the rehabilitation department for the treatment of dysphagia caused bya new onset left basal ganglia intracranial hemorrhage. After the videofluoroscopic swallowing study, the nasogastrictube feeding was changed to intermittent feeding via an oro-esophageal tube. Unfortunately, the patient swallowedthe tube during insertion. Hence, an emergent endoscopy was performed for tube removal. This article reports arare case of a patient who underwent oro-esophageal tube removal with an esophagogastroduodenoscopy after tubeswallowing during insertion. The insertion of an oro-esophageal tube requires a careful approach after consideringthe cognitive function, muscle strength, and family education.
