Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia during the Insertion of the Nasogastric Tube via the Nasal Route

Naso gastric tubes are used to administer medications or nutrition in patients who have a functional gastrointestinal tract but are unable to tolerate oral intake. Cardiac arrhythmias like asystole, and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia have been seen, but they remain rare complications of Na...

description Naso gastric tubes are used to administer medications or nutrition in patients who have a functional gastrointestinal tract but are unable to tolerate oral intake. Cardiac arrhythmias like asystole, and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia have been seen, but they remain rare complications of Nasogastric tube insertion. Here, we bring to you a case of Intracranial Haemorrhage post craniotomy and evacuation of hematoma who developed monomorphic ventricular tachycardia during the insertion of the nasogastric tube via the nasal route. Keywords: Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia, Neuroanaesthesia, Nasogastric tube, Arrhythmia, Critical Care Medicine
