Why is it important?
There is lack of comprehensive references on this important topic in daily practice. This review provides a good view of what has done and what we know about NGT insertion. Tables facilitate fast skimming of the text to have a general overview.
Perspectives
This is useful reference for colleagues in practice esp who are involved with critical cases. Solutions for successful NGT insertion are important in practice.
