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

December 28, 2015 updated by: Sangjin Park, Yeungnam University College of Medicine

Comparison of Proceal Laryngeal Mask Airway and I-gel to Machintoch Laryngoscope by Novice Operators in Simulated Difficult Airway - a Manikin Study.

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

Detailed Description

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.
