She was brought to the hospital after experiencing seizures and becoming cool, pale, and diaphoretic. She was also in and out of consciousness. Due to this, the patient required intubation and IV sedation in order to safely perform the procedure. Procedure description: The patient was taken to the endoscopy suite, and an endotracheal tube was inserted and IV sedation was administered by anesthesia. The nasogastric tube was inserted via the oral cavity and manipulated down into the stomach. The positioning of the tube was confirmed via portable x-ray. Normal saline was used to irrigate the stomach. This was then aspirated out. This continued until the fluid returned clear and we were certain there were no remaining stomach contents. The NG tube was removed and the patient was extubated. She was transferred to a room on the general medical floor in mildly guarded condition. Procedure Codes Only:
