Nasogastric intubation and elective abdominal surgery
Br J Surg.
1992 Nov.
Abstract
The use of nasogastric tubes after elective abdominal surgery remains standard practice for many surgeons. Such tubes, however, cause much discomfort and are associated with significant morbidity. This paper reviews the arguments for and against nasogastric intubation, and finds little evidence to support its continued routine use.
