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.

AbstractWe report a case of successful management of a rare incidence and avoidance of complication of Ryle’s tube knotting around endotracheal tube. A vigilant anesthesia team prevented fatal complications of intraoperative accidental extubation and ventilation impairment which could have resulted into respiratory distress.

Abstract Enteral feeding is an important and preferred technique of feeding in head injury patient to provide nutrition. As inadequate nutrition causes decrease in physical ability, neurological impairment and takes a long time for improvement or delayed deterioratation. With our best knowledge kinked and retained nasogastric tube in stomach is a very rare complication of feeding in head injuries patients. Predisposing factors that can cause kinking is excess tube length, tube in situ for long time and small bore tube. We are reporting one such case of kinked and retained nasogastric tube in the stomach of a polytrauma patient which was retrieved by upper GI endoscope.
