NUTRITION Figure 4. Pull the tube through the oesophagus and out through the oral cavity, use a "arced" pulling motion to follow the curve of the haemostat. Figure 5. Redirect the tip of the tube back into the oral cavity and distally into the oesophagus as far as possible. Figure 6. Once the tube tip is pushed as deep as you can back down the oesophagus, gently pull on the distal end which is exiting the incision. You will feel a "flip" as the bend inside the oesophagus straightens. Issue 01 | MARCH 2018 | 33
