Hi everyone,
I am “usdoes” on IMDB, and I'm the original op of the breathing tube question. I think it's cool that I came here and saw my question being posted here. I think it's a good question because I don't think it's ever been addressed. I just think it's awesome that I saw my question being talked about on another site 🙂
gran, the tube you are referring to is called an NG tube (nasogastric tube) that is used for feedings directly into the stomach and often in the jujenum region. I only know because I work with enough patient's that have them. The tape across the nose bridge that you are referring to is necessary to keep the tube at the proper depth in the patient's stomach and to reduce tugging the tube out … although I'm sure Regan would have ripped hers out which is really not that uncommon in some patients … except Regan's hands were bound.

Thanks … apparently she must have been ripping it out consistently enough that they must have given up on it, since it's not in subsequent scenes.
You're welcome … have you ever noticed the glass IV fluid container that shatters on Regan's bedroom floor? It's obviously there (at least at one point), but it's never connected to Regan's wrist, forearm, or antecubital region. The fluid was certainly never NG feeding fluid despite it being empty when it shatters.
