On utilise la sonde de Levin ou de Salem pour l'aspiration gastrique ou les prélèvements, ou exceptionnellement pour une alimentation de courte durée.

Les sondes nasogastriques sont divisées en sondes à simple (type Levin) ou à double canal (type Salem), la présence d'un double canal augmente l'efficacité de l'aspiration, en évitant que le canal principal se plaque sur la muqueuse. 5, record 1, French, - tube%20de%20Levin
