Evaluation of the i-gel airway in 300 patients

Ninety successful insertions were performed by first-time users such as anaesthesia trainees, medical students, paramedics, nurses and firemen who were training in our hospital. Neither patient had clinical evidence of aspiration at 48 h. It is recommended that if regurgitation occurs during anaesthesia, the patient should be positioned head-down or lateral, gastric tube drainage performed, the i-gel removed, the pharynx suctioned and the patient intubated [1].
