Which method for gastric decompression when gastric distinction is present and the patient is unresponsive?
In cases of gastric distension with an unresponsive patient, the preferred method for gastric decompression is the insertion of a nasogastric (NG) tube. This tube allows for the removal of excess gas and fluid from the stomach, alleviating pressure and preventing complications such as aspiration or perforation. If an NG tube cannot be placed or is ineffective, a surgical intervention such as gastrostomy or laparotomy may be considered in severe cases.
