Gatrectomy is a procedure that involves removal of a part of the stomach (partial gastrectomy) or the whole stomach (total gastrectomy). It is carried out to removal stomach cancer or stomach perforations. In this case, the nurses initial action will be first not to tamper with fresh surgery tubes and then call the primary health care provider for blood draining from the NG tube after the procedure (gastrectomy)
