It was reported that a patient experienced a pneumothorax following a difficult nasogastric tube (ngt) placement.Within 10 minutes of the placement, an x-ray confirmed that the ngt was not in the gastric region.The ngt was immediately withdrawn and a chest tube was inserted.It was noted that the patient was admitted with a brain stem injury and expired eight days later.Additional information received on 19-may-2017 stated that a clinician placed the tube with the assistance of the cotrak enteral access system.An x-ray confirmation was taken to verify the location of the placement.The x-ray revealed that the tube extended into the left mainstem with no obvious pneumothorax at the time.The pneumothorax developed after removal when the chest tube was placed.
