Abstract: Objective This study explores the application of gastric tube interposition by touching laryngeal prominencein postoperative oral cancer patients. Methods This trial includes 66 patients treated in the West China Hospital of Stomatologyfrom August 2014 to December 2014. These patients were randomly divided into two groups: the test group included33 patients who underwent gastric tube interposition by touching laryngeal prominence; the 33 other patients, who served ascontrol group, underwent regular gastric tube interposition. The two groups were compared in terms of the occurrence rate ofbucking, success rate of one-time gastric tube placement, and interposition time. Results Compared with those in the controlgroup, the occurrence rate of bucking and the interposition time in the test group decreased while the success rate of one-timegastric tube placement increased (P<0.05). Conclusion Gastric tube interposition by touching laryngeal prominence canimprove the success rate of one-time gastric tube interposition; moreover, it can reduce the average interposition time andthe pain experienced by patients.

Key words: gastric tube interposition, touching laryngeal prominence, oral cancer
