Facilitation of NGT Insertion
A study testing Digital facilitation in people with Nasogasrtic Tube Insertion, run by Mansoura University at 1 site in Egypt.
Trial summary
Insertion of a nasogastric tube (NGT) in anesthetized patients can be a disappointing experience. Many techniques have been explained to improve success rate along with increasing safety, such as forward displacement of the larynx, tube rigidity improvement methods, pushing it down directly through pharynx or using a… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Digital Facilitation of Nasogastric Tube Insertion Under General Anethesia
Insertion of a nasogastric tube (NGT) in anesthetized patients can be a disappointing experience. Many techniques have been explained to improve success rate along with increasing safety, such as forward displacement of the larynx, tube rigidity improvement methods, pushing it down directly through pharynx or using a guide tube. Failure of insertion under general anesthesia reached 50% in some publications

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Digital facilitationProcedure or surgery
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Didgital group | Active comparator | After induction of anesthesia, and after ensuring muscle relaxation, NGT will be inserted through the selected nostril and advanced for 12 cm then the NGT was advanced according to study group advancing. In control group; NGT was inserted with patient head flexed. In D group, after feeling the NGT in pharynx, with the head in neutral position,the index finger was used to support the NGT with slight direction towards the left side. This will prevent tube kinking at this point in front of the resistance offered by the inflated tube cuff or arytenoids cartilage. Also, this digital support reinforces the tube at the area weakened by its openings Receives: Procedure: Digital facilitation |

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
NGT insertion success rate (time frame: intraoperative). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
