Wow David, thanks for all the valuable information and time that you put into my answer. It was very helpful. Have a great day.

BONO, 570-XXX-XXXX

An NG tube goes to your stomach and is not the first thing they put down in an emergency.  A breathing tube goes only to the carina and is in the airway.  It would not damage your pouch.  The first order of business is establish an airway and get an IV going.   NG tubes are put in last.    They would only tube your stomach if they were looking for toxic substances as in drug overdose or poisoning or excessive bleeding. 

The idea place for a breathing tube is 1-2cm above the carina but it doesn't always go there. I have personally intubated into the stomach before. It's not always an easy thing to do. It happens. It also depends on the emergency situation. Many times a ng tube is dropped first. The breathing tube does not only go into the carina. Where do you work? I want to be sure to go somewhere else. You certainly don't have to wear the ID bracelet, but I think I would rather be safe than sorry. And that is not the only reason that a ng tube is placed. There are many reasons.
