title: Intraoperative monitoring of Jones tube function.
abstract: If intraoperative visualization is impossible when placing a secondary Jones tube, the presence of tube drainage may confirm correct intranasal positioning. A simple suction method is presented to evaluate the intranasal position of the Jones tube in the anesthetized or uncooperative patient.
