“…Dhimar et al, patients with ASA grade I and grade II were 72.4% and 27.6% respectively in group I and 79.3% and 20.7% in group C 10. Similar were the findings of Prateeba et al who had 48 ASA grade I patients and only 2 ASA grade II patients in I-gel group as compared to all patients of ASA grade I in LMA group 8.…”

Background: The gold standard technique for preserving a patent airway throughout anaesthesia is tracheal intubation. I-gel is a relatively new addition to the SADs. I-gel has combined the concept of the non-cuffed SADs like the SLIPA and gastric tube of the proseal LMA yet retaining the shape of laryngeal mask. Hence, we have compared ease of insertion, number and duration of insertion attempts among the two devices. Methods: This study was conducted on patients undergoing elective surgery under GA in Pacific Medical College and Hospital, Udaipur. Patients were divided into two groups: group A= LMA classic, a variant of supraglottic airway device and group B= I-gel, a variant of supraglottic airway device. The two devices were than compared with respect to success rate of insertion, time taken for insertion and ease of gastric tube placement (number of attempts) and post-operative airway morbidity. Results: Mean insertion time was 8.66±3.21 seconds in C-LMA and 6.49±1.92 seconds in I-gel (p<0.001). 97.14% was the success rate of single time attempt insertion with I-gel as compared to 88.57% in C-LMA. There was a failure rate of 11.43% in single attempt insertion with CLMA as compared to 2.86% with I-gel (p>0.05). Conclusions: We hereby concluded with our study that successful and shorter duration of insertion, with less hemodynamic response, makes I-gel™ a suitable alternative to LMA classic™ during general anesthesia.

“…There was not a single incidence of failure of insertion in either group in the current study. Dhimar et al, 6 compared the I-Gel and LMA Classic as a conduit for tracheal intubation, and found that both could be useful alternatives to tracheal intubation using ventilating boogie while with stable hemodynamic parameters. Helmy et al, 7 found that insertion of I-Gel took considerable shorter time in comparison with the LMA Classic (mean procedure time 15.6 s vs. 26 s, respectively).…”

Background: Supraglottic airway devices are more efficient than endotracheal intubation in management of difficult airway and hemodynamic response. Aims and Objectives: This study was undertaken for to compare laryngeal mask airway (LMA) Classic and I-Gel in terms of ease of insertion, insertion attempts, time taken for insertion, hemodynamic change, and adverse events after administering muscle relaxants for airway management in short surgical procedures. Materials and Methods: A total of 120 patients of American Society of Anaesthesiologist 1 and II, aged between 18 and 50 years with Malampatti score 1 and II posted for elective short surgical cases were randomly allotted into two groups (n=60 in each), Group A for LMA Classic and Group B for I-gel. Patients were pre oxygenated with 100% O2 and pre-medicated. After induction and proper muscle relaxation, LMA Classic or I-GEL was inserted. The time and number of insertion attempts were assessed. Heart rate, Blood pressure, SpO2 recorded at the time of insertion, 1, 3, 5, and 10 min following insertion. The recorded results were analyzed statistically. Results: The mean insertion time of Group A was 34.80±3.193 and Group B was 21.72±1.975. P<0.001 and in Group B all patients were successfully intubated at first attempt whereas in Group B 23.33% patients required second attempts. Hemodynamic changes were also less with Group B. Conclusion: I-Gel has better hemodynamic stability. Ease of Insertion, insertion attempts and time taken for insertion are more convenient for I-Gel than LMA Classic after administering muscle relaxants.
