Response - NO
Brief Summary   Successful insertion of nasogastric tube (NGT) can be a challenging procedure in anesthetized and intubated patients owing to absence of coordinated swallowing effort. In this study, a comparison will be made between the technique of “Combined lateral position with throat pack in-situ” or “lateral position alone” in anesthetized, intubated, adult patients for NGT placement in terms of ‘success rate in the first attempt’ (Primary outcome), procedure time and incidence of adverse events.
