A Study to Evaluate I-Gel as Conduit for Endotracheal Intubation
Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Background: The i-gel is a new supraglottic airway device with a non-inflatable, soft gel like cuff. It has been shown to be an effective ventilatory device. The present study evaluates i-gel as conduit for endotracheal intubation. Methods: After informed consent, 50 ASA I-II adults with normal airways undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia requiring intubation were allocated to undergo blind tracheal intubation using i-gel. Results: i-gel insertion was successful in all 50 (100%) patients [46 (92%) in 1st, 3 (6%) in 2nd and 1(2%) in 3rd attempt]. The mean time of insertion of i-gel was 18.20 ±2.32 seconds. The mean airway seal pressure was 26.78 ± 4.10 cm H2O. Overall success rate of intubation through i-gel was 78% [34(68%) in 1st, 3(6%) in 2nd and 2(4%) in 3rd attempt]. The mean time for intubation using i-gel was 23.28 ± 8.22 seconds. Conclusion: i-gel provides effective ventilation with acceptable airway seal pressures and can serve as alternative conduit for blind endotracheal intubation
