Use of I-Gel in Anesthesia for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Dr.Zaffar Kawoosa , Dr.Wasim Salman
Abstract
Supra-glottic airway devices (SADs)have been claimed to be as effective and safe as endotracheal
intubation or even better. The SADs have been used as effective measures in difficult airway
management as well as in rescue ventilation for life-saving situations.. The i-gel LMA is one of the
second-generation SADs. It is constructed of a thermoplastic elastomer which provides an airtight
seal around patient's peri-laryngeal anatomy without the inflatable cuff mechanism found in other
LMAs. Use of i-Gel LMA has been suggested as a safe alternative to endotracheal intubationduring
general anaesthesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This study was conducted to evaluate if
routine use i-Gel LMA was a possibility in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
