Comparison of Laryngeal Mask and I-gel to Laryngoscope by Novice Operators in Simulated Difficult Airway

Yeungnam University College of Medicine109 enrolled

Overview

The use of laryngeal mask airway or i-gel to manage airway may improve success rates, especially in difficult situations more than tracheal intubation.

This study compares the insertion success rate and insertion time among the proceal laryngeal mask airway, i-gel, and tracheal tube. Following a short lecture, airway novices try to insert proceal laryngeal mask airway, i-gel, and tracheal tube into manikin with difficult laryngoscopy scenarios.
