ZAMUDIO-BURBANO, Mario Andrés et al. Tracheal intubation with I-gel supraglottic device in pediatric patients: a prospective case series. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2018, vol.46, n.1, pp.37-41. ISSN 0120-3347. https://doi.org/10.1097/cj9.0000000000000007.
Introduction:
Currently, there are no devices showing an acceptable success rate in blind intubation in pediatrics.
Objectives:
The purpose of this particular series of cases is to identify the percentage of successful blind intubations using the Igel laryngeal mask in children between 2 and 35 kg of body weight, in addition to evaluating seal pressure, fiber optics vision through the device, and reporting the occurrence of complications.
Materials and methods:
A prospective case series in pediatrics; patients from 2 to 35 kg.
Results:
According to our study, the overall percentage of blind intubation was 23%, while the percentages of ideal and low vision to facilitate the insertion of the bronchoscope into the airway, and then inserting a tracheal tube through the fiber optics was 70%.
Conclusion:
We feel that the supraglottic I-gel is not the appropriate device for blind intubation; however, it is an acceptable recommendation to conduct fiber optics intubation.
