IT WAS REPORTED, "THE PATIENT IS FED THROUGH AN OG [OROGASTRIC] TUBE EVERY 2 HOURS AND EVERY 4 HOURS WE ARE TO CHANGE THE ENTERAL EXTENSION TUBING.

I TRIED CLEANING THE CONNECTION, USED A HEATED DAMP CLOTH, A DRY FACE CLOTH AND GLOVES TO TRY TO GET THE OG AND EXTENSION TUBING APART. BUT I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL.
