Nasogastric intubation is a frequent practice in clinical care used for administering enteral feed, gastric decompression, and lavage. The knotting of a nasogastric tube is a rare complication with only a few incidences of narrow bore nasogastric tube knotting and even fewer wide-bore tubes reported [1-4]. Unrecognized knotting of the nasogastric tube with inadvertent removal may cause catastrophic consequences like epistaxis, respiratory distress’ severe laryngeal injury, and tracheoesophageal fistula [5-7]. Tubes have been found to be kinked and less commonly knotted. Cases of knotting have previously been identified during insertion or blockage of the tubes post-insertion. Ours is a case of nasogastric tube knotting identified in a young patient with a working tube that knotted over itself during removal.

Catheter Fracture

Background: Cuffed, double-lumen, tunneled haemodialysis catheters are a common means of vascular access in paediatric haemodialysis, particularly in infants. Haemodialysis catheter fracture with distal embolization is a rare complication. Case Report: A 2-year-old boy was receiving chronic haemodialysis via a right internal jugular cuffed, double-lumen, tunneled haemodialysis catheter, inserted 3 months previously. He was asymptomatic and was incidentally found to have had embolization of a fractured catheter tip into a segmental branch of the left pulmonary artery. The catheter was replaced and the embolized fragment successfully retrieved, non-surgically, using an image-guided endovascular approach with a loop snare device. Conclusion: Haemodialysis catheter fracture with distal embolization is a rare complication in both adults and children and is usually associated with prolonged use and catheter fatigue. Retrieval of the embolized fragment should always be attempted to prevent possible complications. Awareness of this potential complication is important to facilitate diagnosis and management.
