Previous studies have highlighted various complications associated with NGT misplacement, including epistaxis, pneumothorax and even fatal perforations. To reduce the incidence of complications, guidelines recommend confirming the correct position of the NGT through radiography, pH testing, end\u2010expiratory carbon dioxide monitoring, ultrasonography, etc. Herein, we present the case of a 78\u2010year\u2010old man who experienced sudden dyspnoea, was brought to the ICU and subsequently developed gastrointestinal bleeding following improper NGT placement. In this patient, air was rapidly injected down the NGT while auscultating for a \u2018whooshing sound\u2019 over the epigastrium. However, the correct position of the NGT was eventually confirmed by X\u2010ray. Urgent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed an oesophagogastric submucosal tunnelling of the NGT. This case emphasizes that auscultation may be unreliable and no longer encouraged. Additionally, various verification methods may not detect such rare complications related to NGT placement, making it necessary to focus on the emerging clinical manifestations following NGT insertion. Moreover, gaining further insight into the history of gastrointestinal diseases in patients may be beneficial.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Relevance to Clinical Practice<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case underscores the importance of noting resistance during a blind nasogastric tube (NGT) insertion in the intensive care unit (ICU). Additionally, the \u2018whooshing testing\u2019 for tube placement verification is not recommended. Although radiographic confirmation remains the gold standard, it may not effectively identify rare complications. Furthermore, emerging clinical signs (such as the abnormal nature of the gastrointestinal decompression drainage fluid, hypotension and anaemia) after insertion may suggest NGT misalignment. Finally, in urgent ICU settings, the patient's history of gastrointestinal disease should not be overlooked, as it can lead to complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/nicc.13178","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,11]],"date-time":"2024-10-11T06:14:18Z","timestamp":1728627258000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Complicated placement of a nasogastric tube in the gastric mucosa: A case report and literature review"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-0165-9778","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yiqi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Intensive Care Unit, The First Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine  Hangzhou P.
