What is a Ryle\u2019s Tube?<\/strong><\/h3>

A Ryle\u2019s tube<\/strong>, also known as a nasogastric (NG) tube<\/strong>, is a thin, soft, and flexible tube inserted through the nose, passing down the throat into the stomach. It is commonly used to provide nutrition, administer medications, or remove stomach contents when normal swallowing or digestion is not possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
