Brief Summary

Nasogastric tube insertion (NGT) in anaesthetizedpatient is often difficult due to various reasons. Anatomical, patient beingunconscious, coiling, kinking with that there are multiple complicationsrelated to NGT insertion leading to many cathostropic sequele. So,to avoid this complications and easy insertion many methods have been tried.This study compares four different methods of NGT insertion to increase successrate for correct placement of NGT with less complications. It comparesconventional method, neck flexion with lateral pressure, reverse Sellick’smethod and preinstalled nasopharyngeal airway for increasing success rate ofinsertion of NGT correctly.
