A large-bore NGT is placed. Is placement confirmed?
Correct! We can see the large-bore NGT bisect the left mainstem bronchus, course through the G-E junction, and finally pass much below the diaphragm. Because this is a large-bore tube, we also have to pay attention to the location of the sidehole port. We can also see here that the sidehole port also goes past the G-E junction and is itself below the diaphragm and in the stomach. This tube can now be used.
Sorry! This tube is actually appropriate for use and can be confirmed.
