Many techniques have been prescribed to reduce nasal mucosa damage. We have been using a nasogastric tube as an internal stylet to facilitate threading the nasotracheal tube. Before intubation, we cut the proximal suction port of nasogastric tube, and lubricate it with water-soluble jelly. (Fig. 1) Then we introduce the nasogastric tube into the largest patent nares and thread it gently into the posterior pharynx. We then thread the nasotracheal tube through the nostril and into the pharynx over the nasogastric tube. The nasogastric tube is then removed, and we use a Magill forceps to direct the nasotra-cheal tube into the trachea. We have used this method in 10 children and 15 adults, with little trauma and bleeding  ISSN : 0003-2999  Journal Name : Anesthesia and Analgesia  Volume : 103  Issue Number : 4  Publishing Year : 1427 AH 2006 AD  Article Type : Short Note  Added Date : Friday, October 16, 2009  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email عبدالله كعكي Kaki, Abdullah Investigator Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  28966.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
