No results posted yet for this study

Summary

According to previous studies, head and neck rotation reduces the tongue from being rolled back by gravity, which resulted in increasing patency of the upper airway. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to verify whether head and neck rotation increases the first attempt success rate of i-gel™.

Conditions

  • Supraglottic Airway Device
  • Intubation; Difficult or Failed
  • Airway Complication of Anesthesia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Standard method

Insert I-gel™ according to the manufacturer's instruction. Take the sniffing position and gently move the i-gel™ along the hard palate to the soft palate and the posterior oropharynx.

PROCEDURE

Hean and Neck Rotation

After rotating the patient's head and neck to the left maximally, insert the i-gel™ from the right side of the tongue to the midline. When the tip reaches the soft palate and oropharynx positions, turn the head and neck back to the neutral position.
