With thiscontact maintained by gentle pressure against the septumwith the outer end of the catheter, it is now drawn for-ward over the posterior lip into the tubal orifice (Fig. 29).That it is in position here will be recognized by a semi-fixed feeling communicated to the right hand. The ringof the catheter should point in the direction of the earto be inflated. The left hand now grasps the catheter,the ring lying between the thumb below and the forefingerabove, the other fingers still maintaining their rest uponthe bridge of the nose. The right hand thus freed com-presses the bulb and if all has gone well the operator willperceive by the sound heard through the auscultationtube that he has succeeded (Fig. 30). If he has not, noattempt should be made to search for the tube with theleft hand, but the hands are to be replaced and with thecatheter in the fingers of the right hand search made forthe location which gives the sensation of semifixation. 68 EXAMINATION OF THE PATIENT.
