TITLE: I-Gel: A Rescue Intubation Device in Unanticipated Difficult Intubation for Emergency Laparotomy

AUTHORS: Lalit Gupta, Kapil Chaudhary, Poonam Bhadoria

KEYWORDS: I-Gel; Rescue; Unanticipated Difficult Intubation; Emergency; Laparotomy

JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Anesthesiology, Vol.2 No.2, April 19, 2012

ABSTRACT: The “i-gel” is a newer, non-inflatable supraglottic airway device for clinical use and also for resuscitation purposes. It has also been found to be a useful ventilation and intubation device in anticipated simulated difficult airway situations. However, its use in unanticipated difficult airway situations in emergency set up has not been explored. We describe a case of 24 year male posted for emergency laparotomy that turned out to have an unanticipated difficult airway. Attempts to intubation and ProSeal Laryngeal Mask Airway insertion failed. However, “i-gel” proved to be a very handy intubating conduit in this critical situation.
