A nasogastric tube (NGT) can typically remain in place for up to 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the patient's condition and the reason for its use. Prolonged use beyond this period may increase the risk of complications such as nasal and esophageal irritation or infection. Regular monitoring and assessment by healthcare professionals are essential to determine the need for replacement or removal. Always consult a healthcare provider for specific guidance related to individual circumstances.
