Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of tongue-drawing at lateral position in nasogastric intubation for senile patients with conscious disorders. Methods One hundred senile patients with conscious disorders were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 50 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were given routine nasogastric intubation while those in the observation group were given nasogastric intubation by tongue drawing at the lateral position. The two groups were compared in terms of success rate of intubation, the rate of adverse reactions and intubation effects. Result Compared with the control group, the observation group showed significantly higher in one-time intubation success rate , comfort rate and lower rate of adverse reaction (all P<0.01). Conclusions The nasogastric intubation by tongue-drawing at lateral position is superior to the routine intubation. It can improve the success rate of one-time intubation, decrease the rate of adverse reactions and relieve the pains of patients.
