Avanos medical inc.Received a single report that referenced two different incidences, which were associated with separate units, involving two different patients.This is the second of two reports.Refer to 9611594-2021-00077 for the first report.It was reported that a nasogastric (ng) tube was placed post-thrombectomy and was replaced upon arrival to neuro critical care due to non-patency.A kidney, ureter, and bladder x-ray (kub) was done to confirm placement of the new ng tube, which indicated left lung placement with possible small pneumothorax.An x-ray performed later indicated that the pneumothorax had worsened and the left lung was collapsed.Due to worsening co-morbidities (cerebral edema), the patient was placed in comfort care and no further intervention was done.
