📌 Sonda nasogástrica: indicaciones, colocación y manejo
Nasogastric Tubes—Indications, Placement, and Management: A Review — JAMA Surgery, 2026
La SNG sigue siendo fundamental en cirugía, pero el mensaje del artículo es claro: no debe colocarse ni mantenerse “por rutina”.
🔹 Obstrucción intestinal: es su principal indicación. En obstrucción adhesiva sin isquemia, estrangulación ni peritonitis, la descompresión con SNG forma parte del manejo conservador, que resuelve aproximadamente 75% de los casos. Habitualmente se observa respuesta durante 48–72 h.
🔹 Contraste hidrosoluble: tras 2–6 h de descompresión puede administrarse por la SNG, pinzarla unas 2 h y realizar radiografía a las 12–24 h. Que el contraste llegue al colon ayuda a predecir resolución; su beneficio terapéutico, en cambio, sigue siendo discutido.
🔹 Después de cirugía abdominal: aquí está uno de los mensajes más importantes. La SNG profiláctica rutinaria debe evitarse. En cirugía colorrectal, gástrica, pancreática, hepatobiliar y ginecológica no disminuye la fuga anastomótica y puede retrasar alimentación, movilidad y recuperación. ERAS favorece retirarla precozmente o usarla solo de forma selectiva.
🔹 Colocación segura: paciente sentado 60–90°, avanzar suavemente por el piso nasal y nunca forzar ante resistencia. Si se utilizará para alimentación o administrar sustancias, debe confirmarse radiológicamente; la auscultación tras insuflar aire no es un método fiable.
🔹 Manejo: la succión suele mantenerse en 40–80 mmHg. Las pruebas de pinzamiento o gravedad no deberían hacerse rutinariamente; si se utilizan, deben ser cortas (2–4 h) y con cabecera ≥30°.
⚠️ Vigilar diariamente aspiración, lesiones nasales, migración, pérdidas de volumen, hipopotasemia y alcalosis metabólica. Si la nutrición enteral será necesaria por más de 4–6 semanas, debe considerarse una gastrostomía.
💡 Para recordar: la mejor SNG no es la que permanece “por si acaso”, sino la que tiene una indicación clara, se coloca correctamente y se retira tan pronto deja de ser necesaria.

It was 1970 when a spark of inspiration became Aerosmith. Thanks to you, our Blue Army, that spark caught flame and has been burning for over five decades. Some of you have been with us since the beginning and all of you are the reason we made rock ‘n’ roll history.
It has been the honor of our lives to have our music become part of yours. In every club, on every massive tour and at moments grand and private you have given us a place in the soundtrack of your lives.
We’ve always wanted to blow your mind when performing. As you know, Steven’s voice is an instrument like no other. He has spent months tirelessly working on getting his voice to where it was before his injury. We’ve seen him struggling despite having the best medical team by his side. Sadly, it is clear, that a full recovery from his vocal injury is not possible. We have made a heartbreaking and difficult, but necessary, decision - as a band of brothers - to retire from the touring stage.
We are grateful beyond words for everyone who was pumped to get on the road with us one last time. Grateful to our expert crew, our incredible team and the thousands of talented people who’ve made our historic runs possible. A final thank you to you - the best fans on planet Earth. Play our music loud, now and always. Dream On. You’ve made our dreams come true.

2���Management of blunt abdominal trauma
https://t.co/NtlvUfDkl6
- Blunt abdominal trauma is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality
- Timely intervention and individualized treatment strategies are required to optimize patient outcomes
- Most patients with significant blunt abdominal trauma have multi-organ injuries
- Blunt abdominal trauma should be managed through a combination of operative intervention, angiographic techniques, and non-operative management
- In patients who are operated on, the primary operative decision point is determining whether a definitive or damage control operation is required
