No. While under anesthesia, you ( the patient) are intubated ( which means there is a tube down your throat to facilitate breathing for the unconscious patient ), and any saliva produced is suctioned away to prevent complications when the patient is being extubated.
You can not feed some one with out feeding tube, properly placed, if he is in coma. Such attempts has caused innumerable deaths in past and present also. Very little amount of water can kill the patient by choking him, if he is unconscious for any reason.
For putting a naso gastric tube keep the patient propped up or in a sitting position. Take a well lubricated naso gastric tube and pass it down the nose. Ask the patient to swallow when it is in the throat and push it down on swallowing. You can give the patient a glass of water to sip to help him to swallow and keep pushing the tube. Aspirate to get bile and stomach contents and check with litmus paper to make sure it is in the stomach. Alternatively, you can check the position with a plain X-ray to check the tip before any feeding.
Mefloquine is effective against cerebral malaria. But you can not depend on this drug alone. There is no injection of mefloquine is available. It is available in tablet form. You have to give this drug by nasogastric tube in unconscious patient.
A patient who is intubated cannot eat because of the tube in their throat. A feeding tube in the nose, mouth or stomach allows the doctors to pump food into the patient's stomach.
Nurses and doctors use a suction tube to remove saliva from a patient's mouth when the patient is unable to swallow. However it is not simply a tube, but a tube connected to a suction machine.
