Feeding tube insertion is a basic routine procedure. Little has been written on how to check for placement of small bore nasointestinal feeding tubes. A major risk is accidental placement of the tube into the respiratory system. We report a case of accidental tracheal intubation of feeding tube in an intubated, polytrauma patient. The patient was shifted to intensive care unit (ICU) for ventilatory support in the post-operative period. He was weaned off the ventilator and enteral feeding was planned by the third post-operative day. Immediately after feeding tube insertion the patient developed respiratory distress. Mechanical ventilation was resumed. On re examination, the feeding tube was found to be in the trachea. It was immediately removed. The condition of the patient improved thereafter.Keywords

Background: Motivation of health workers is necessary to generate the organizational commitment towards the patients and the hospital. Therefore the knowledge about what motivates and satisfies them is very essential.
Objective: The primary objective of the study was to explore the relationship between Work Motivation and Job Satisfaction among Nurses in the Clinical Settings
Method: The study is conducted through online survey, target being nurses of Government or a private run hospitals. Sample size was 100.
Results: The study shows majority of the study population belonged to age group between 25- 30years (55%). Gender-wise distribution showed 48% males and 52% females. Female Nurses were more as compared to males. More than half of the study population (68.3%) were poorly motivated and their job 39% satisfaction level is very poor. Work motivation is highly significantly associated with job satisfaction (p=0.001), (p value is less than 0.005).
Conclusion: There should be an effective Human resource management system for nursing community in every higher level hospital.
