About

The use of laryngeal mask airway or i-gel to manage airway may improve success rates, especially in difficult situations more than tracheal intubation.

Full description

This study compares the insertion success rate and insertion time among the proceal laryngeal mask airway, i-gel, and tracheal tube. Following a short lecture, airway novices try to insert proceal laryngeal mask airway, i-gel, and tracheal tube into manikin with difficult laryngoscopy scenarios.

Enrollment: 109 estimated patients

Sex: All

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
