Event Description

Customer reports: essentially the patient involved had the nasogastric tube inserted on the (b)(6) 2023 - so it had been in for a few weeks.The patient receives medication & feeds via the nasogastric tube.The night duty nurse had gone to change the patients nappy around 0400 and notice the tip of the ngt poking out of the patients bottom - extremely unusual (given the tube was still in use and aspirating normally).The nurse removed the piece (as shown in the photos) - the patients mother did not want to remove the rest at this time as it is traumatic for the patient.When removed, it appeared the ngt had almost burst/melted away at one end.When the rest of the ngt was removed later that day, you can see the same damage on that end too.Placement confirmed by ph test not xray.Per additional information received on 1/10/23, the detached piece passed through the bowel.There was no further medical intervention, injury or harm reported.
