简要总结
Nasogastric tube insertion is routinely performed procedure in intubated patients inside operating room. It is a challenging job with a high failure rate using conventional technique. Failure leads to repeated insertion attempts causing injury making the situation worse. After each unsuccessful insertion, incidence of mucosal bleeding and hemodynamic complication increase which is highly undesirable.
We hypothesise that deflating the endotracheal tube cuff will facilitate easy passage of nasogastric tube. Hence present study is conducted to evaluate the effect of deflating endotracheal tube cuff in facilitating nasogastric tube insertion in anaesthetized intubated patient.
