Facilitation of NGT Insertion

Insertion of a nasogastric tube (NGT) in anesthetized patients can be a disappointing experience. Many techniques have been explained to improve success rate along with increasing safety, such as forward displacement of the larynx, tube rigidity improvement methods, pushing it down directly through pharynx or using a guide tube. Failure of insertion under general anesthesia reached 50% in some publications
