Hiccups
I have a method which has worked about 90% of the time for me, including hiccoughs under anesthesia. It has to do with knowing the course of the phrenic nerve. I insert a suction tube into one and sometimes the second nostril. I push it back to the back of the nasal pharynx and juggle it forcefully, but do not advance it into the oropharynx Hiccoughs cease almost instantaneously,
