“…The postoperative complaints in our study demonstrated a lower incidence of postoperative sore throat and difficulty swallowing at 24h in the i-gel TM group. Very similar results were experienced in another study where the i-gel TM caused lower incidence of postoperative sore throat and neck complaints 24 . This fact may be attributed to the different pressures exerted on pharyngeal mucosa by the inflated cuff of the laryngeal mask compared with the cufless anatomical shape of the i-gel TM .…”

SummaryThe aim of our study was to compare leakage pressure, ease and time of insertion of the i-gel and the LMA-Unique laryngeal mask airway in patients with mild to moderate obesity during elective short-term surgery. In this prospective, randomised crossover trial, we included patients with a body mass index (BMI) > 25 and < 35 kg.m )2 , and , age > 18 years, undergoing elective surgery in the supine position with an expected duration of surgery < 2 h. Leakage pressures, insertion difficulty, time and number of insertion attempts were evaluated. We included 50 patients consisting of 29 mildly (BMI > 25 and < 30 kg.mg) and 21 moderately (BMI > 30 and < 35 kg.mg

“…The use of the i-gel has now been shown clinically to result in fewer postoperative sore throat and neck complaints compared with disposable LMAs [19]. Although our study was not powered to examine airway complications or morbidity, bloodstaining on removal was found in one i-gel (2%) and two (4%) LMA Supremes.…”

SummaryWe compared the efficacy of the inflatable cuff of the LMA Supreme TM against the non-inflatable i-gel TM cuff in providing an adequate seal for laparoscopic surgery in the Trendelenburg position in 100 female patients. There was no difference in our primary outcome, oropharyngeal leak pressure, between the LMA Supreme and the i-gel (mean (SD) 26.4 (5.1) vs 25.0 (5.7) cmH 2 O, respectively; p = 0.18). Forty-seven (94%) LMA Supremes and 48 (96%) i-gels were successfully inserted on the first attempt, with similar ease, and comparable times to the first capnograph trace (mean (SD) 14.3 (4.7) s for the LMA Supreme vs 15.4 (8.2) s for the i-gel; p = 0.4). Gastric tube insertion was easier and achieved more quickly with the LMA Supreme vs the i-gel (9.0 (2.5) s vs 15.1 (7.3) s, respectively; p < 0.001). After creation of the pneumoperitoneum, there was a smaller difference between expired and inspired tidal volumes with the LMA Supreme (21.5 (15.2) ml) than with the i-gel (31.2 (23.5) ml; p = 0.009). There was blood on removal of two LMA Supremes and one i-gel. Four patients in the LMA Supreme group and one patient in the i-gel group experienced mild postoperative sore throat.
