ABSTRACT:
A guide for guiding a nasal gastric tube of preselected outside diameter into the esophagus and stomach of a patient for evacuation of stomach fluids. The guide comprises a tube formed with an end to end slit having an inside diameter greater than the nasal gastric tube outside diameter whereby the nasal gastric tube may be inserted into the guide tube through a guide tube end and subsequently extracted through the guide tube slit. In use, a nasal gastric tube is located in position within the nasopharynx with one tube end projecting out of the patient's nose and the other tube end projecting out of the patient's mouth. A longitudinally slit tubular guide is telescoped over the end of the nasal gastric tube projecting out of the patient's mouth. The free end of the tubular guide opposite the tubular guide end from which the nasal gastric tube emerges from the guide is inserted into the patient's esophagus. The tubular guide is then peeled from the nasal gastric tube by passing the nasal gastric tube through the tubular guide slit.
