What is a orogastric intubation?

Orogastric intubation is a medical procedure involving the insertion of a tube through the mouth into the stomach. This technique is often used for various purposes, such as administering medications, providing nutrition, or decompressing the stomach in cases of bowel obstruction or severe vomiting. It is typically performed in emergency situations or in patients who cannot eat orally. Proper technique and monitoring are essential to minimize complications, such as aspiration or injury to the esophagus.
