   Good point about the twisting of the tube, I can vouch for that technique; it works. I thought it was our idea but glad someone is teaching it that way. It prevents ramming the sinus tissues.

   NG tube placement is horrible. It takes longer to do in real time, with much more gagging. This is a bit fake, for me to watch . I’ve experienced it first hand., as the unfortunate patient. Beware of vomiting, during the gagging episode, or chocking. Some patients can’t sip, and for them just attempting to swallow is best!

   our text books indicate that when NG tube is first inserted in the neck should be extended (tipped back) then flexed down (chin on chest) once resistance is felt, thats when the drinking should start and the tube should be turned slightly.
