Feeding tubes

Just curious does anyone use Feeding tubes during examination or play and how fun are they?

Have you ever used them?

No, not yet but I was curious if any one has and if so what all they have used them for. Do you have any experience?

If you accidentally insert it into your trachea or farther down, you could die from spasms in your respiratory tree or from bacterial infection, among other complications..

Thanks for the info! I understand it is very risky but also might have some interesting role in a nurse/sub play session. Thanks!

That's too dangerouse to play with . at least for me rule #1 is always play safe, my wife was recently in the hospital and developed an upper GI blockage ther put an NG tube in to to clear it for 24 hours it was horrible for her i work in the field at the same hospital i knew what they were gonna do i felt helpless watching them put it in she cried when it went in and cried when they took it out. i really lots of equipment monitors tubes you name it so i suppose i could use one in play but i would only put it slightly into the nostril i would never actually use it.

Hello,

I'm using feeding tube. In a way, that's not really what I can call fun, but other hand, it's a great turn on. As it was say, insertion must be done very carefully, and you must be sure that the tube in going on the right place. After that, tube can be some kind of comfortable, and can be used for hydration and/or nutrition. The longest I keep one was for 3 days, only getting liquid food by the tube.

One more time, keep in mind the tube and bottom must be over strict supervision...

Way too dangerous for non professionals to do. It requires skill to insert a tube and professional knowledge and judgement to check placement each time it is used. You don't want to be responsible for harming someone in the name of play.

It appears there's just no getting through to certain people.

In an emergency situation this is not pleasant. In a diagnostic situation it isn't bad and if you get a very gentle nurse it is almost enjoyable. Note: there are numerous different styles of tubes. Do not do this procedure if you are not trained.

I have had an NG tube and it was perfectly ghastly. In the nose it hurts like hell. In the throat the choking is awful . When the tube reaches the stomach one has uncontrollable gagging. I always hated putting tubes down patients in my real life practice. As Susie says if you put it into the trachea you may die. Leave nasogastric tubes for real life medicine. They are not pleasant.

Medfunexp as others have mentioned already placement of a NG tube can be awkward, problematic and uncertain. Seasoned professionals can easily insert it into the lungs which can result in sever bronchospasms and in a play setting this may have life threatening consequences as you cannot breathe properly. In addition you can vomit and aspirate causing an aspiration pneumonia as well as a vasovagal response with its hypotension ( low B/P), bradycardia ( slow heart rate) and fainting. I am sure that in a play setting you and your play doc do not have the equipment, meds, skills and expertise to adequately handle and treat any emergency situation.

Placement of a NG tube can be very uncomfortable and not an enjoyable procedure especially if you have a sensitive gag reflex. It's really is not a fun experience !! We now are required to have radiological confirmation of the position as you can get false positive with ph paper.

With all the potential consequences my advice would be to forget about this course of action in a play exam. As StephenS stated " It requires skill to insert a tube and professional knowledge and judgement to check placement each time it is used".

I have had numerous Ng tubes recently . It really isnt a pleasant experience getting it inserted.At one insertion I vomited badly and vomit hit my lungs causing an aspiration pneumonia.I then spent a very scary week in ICU struggling to breath and a chest drain was inserted too. Another very unpleasant procedure.Certainly something I'd never want to experience again whether for real or for play. Weeks later and I'm still suffering with the after effects.

In Last Four Weeks in Hospital I Had Two Ng tubes! One in First week and then it was removed after two days. And One on third week! it was also removed after two days!

NG Tube I Don't Ever Want To Have It Again In My Life! One Of The Most painful Procedure. And even after its removal My Nose and throat Hurts Till now!
