Is Igel an intubation?
Background and Aims: I-Gel®, a novel SAD has been introduced as a ventilating device but has widely gained popularity as conduit for intubation. Unlike intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA), I-Gel® does not have an endotracheal tube specially designed for it.
Why is the Igel better than the LMA?
I-gel is a simple device which is easy to insert without much of manipulations rapidly. It has a potential advantage of effective seal pressure which is less as compared to LMA-Proseal, but is enough to prevent aspiration and maintain an effective ventilation and oxygenation.
How many types of LMA are there?
Laryngeal mask airways come in several types, as follows: The LMA Classic is the original reusable design. The LMA Unique is a disposable version, making it ideal for emergency and prehospital settings. The LMA Fastrach, an intubating LMA (ILMA), is designed to serve as a conduit for intubation.
How is an Igel used?
The tube consists of a breathing and a drain tube. It is possible to intubate the trachea through the breathing tube, and to insert a gastric tube through the drain tube. We used the i-gel in 20 adults who were breathing spontaneously under general anesthesia.
