The I‐gel^®, a single‐use supraglottic airway device with a non‐inflatable cuff and an esophageal vent: an observational study in children

Abstract

Because the I-gel has a very good insertion success rate and very few complications, it seems to be an efficient and safe device for pediatric airway management.

A performance comparison of the paediatric i‐gel™ with other supraglottic airway devices

“…The median leak pressure ranged between 20 and 27 cmH 2 O. The study by Beylacq et al [21] used only the size-3 i-gel in children. This has been included in the table for completeness but was not used in further analysis as our inclusion criterion was use of i-gel sizes 1-2.5.…”

I-Gel(tm) vs. Auraonce(tm) Laryngeal Mask for General Anaesthesia With Controlled Ventilation in Paralyzed Patients

“…At least one study has demonstrated a shallow learning curve before attainment of high success rates with the i-gel TM (ref. 16 ). The effective airway time (time to connection of the breathing circuit) was shorter and the average number of insertions was slightly less in the i-gel TM group, although neither was found to be significant.…”

“…또한 합병증 발생률(10% 이내)은 다른 SAD와 유사하거나 낮다고 평가되었다 [4]. 그러나 소아 환자에서 i-gel에 대한 기도 관리 연구는 제한적이다 [8][9][10]. Table 1에 표시하였다.…”
