Summary
A modified jaw thrust technique for I-gel insertion achieved 100% first-attempt success in adults. This method offers a potentially smoother and atraumatic alternative to the standard I-gel placement technique.
Area of Science:
- Anesthesiology
- Airway Management
Background:
- The I-gel is a second-generation supraglottic airway device with a unique gel cuff and stem.
- Standard I-gel insertion can be challenging, leading to resistance, obstruction, and trauma.
- A modified jaw thrust technique is proposed to facilitate smoother I-gel placement.
