Thinkinthin Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hi Nicole, I have spoken with my boyfriend of 10 years, he has been a paramedic for the last 30 years and he states if a person has to be "tubed" it goes into the esophagus down to the lungs not the stomach however if you needed your stomach pumped for some reason then it may be an issue. This is a very interesting question. I also work for a surgeon, I will ask him as well. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
