Patients with prolonged NGT insertion can lose their oropharyngeal swallowing function [4], and many patients who receive NGT feeding for a long time are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of nutrients orally immediately after NGT removal [13]. There are also patients who require NGT reinsertion...
