Anesthetized patients may have difficulty with the placement and verification
of nasogastric tube, which may make insertion more difficult. We recently
compared the bubble technique to the conventional method for confirming
nasogastric tube insertion in patients under anesthesia and observed that
the bubble technique had a greater confirmation rate than the conventional
technique. The purpose of this article is to discuss the different techniques
for confirming the nasogastric tubes position in the anaesthetized patient,
with a special emphasis on the Bubble approach
