The I-gel is genuinely interesting second era aviation route gadget with delicate gel like non inflatable sleeve. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the ease of insertion and number of insertion attempts, airway sealing pressure, and evaluation of device position and occurrence of complication. Total70 adult patients were allocated to either i-gel group or P-LMA group with 35patients in each group. Both i-gel and P- LMA were introduced with standard technique. The outcomes measured ease of insertion, number of insertion attempts, airway sealing pressure, changes, evaluation of device position and complications. the i-gel group the success rate at ease of insertion was greater (97% vs72% respectively;P=0.012). Airway sealing pressure was lesser (24.72±1.37 cmH2Ovs 30.09±2.64 cmH2O respectively; P=0.0003). The incidence of postoperative sore throat was lower (2.8% vs 25.7% respectively;P=0.01). Changes in parameters were not clinically significant. The i-gel is easier to insert than P-LMA however with a lower airway sealing pressure. It has a lower incidence of postoperative complications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
