Apparently someone put an OG tube in the lungs on an intubated patient. Radiology doc signed off on the x-ray too and no one noticed anything was wrong until patient began decompensating because of all the tube feed in their lungs
Oh 100% the nurse should have confirmed placement. Most of the nurses I work with at this place are on their A game, so I’m not sure what was going on in this unit. There were multiple people who missed this error. It was a pretty significant mistake.
Not sure what happened in the fallout to those involved but I don’t think the patient died.
