Summary

Aspiration pneumonia is a common complication in senior patients with high morbidity and mortality rate. The decline of physical function among elders can easily lead to swallowing disorders, and nasogastric (NG) tube insertion is an emergency medical treatment that provides patients with adequate hydration and nutrition.
