gastro-oesophageal (feeding) tube


Explanation:
or orogastric/nasogastric, if the text allows you to chose

if you put gastric (or stomach) alone, the tube might well have been directly inserted into the stomach, which is not the case

or maybe gastroesophageal

o forse si può tralasciare gastric e dire solo esophageal... su dove vada a finire l'esofago non ci sono molti dubbi :)

yes, I think that esophageal alone might be the best choice - I've also found a previous kudoz translating "sonda esofagica" from spanish:
