Supraglottic Airways

AIRWAYS-2 showed a lack in ventilatory success with an i-gel was seen in approximately 1 in 70 patients?

Work from Jabre demonstrated that in out of hospital cardiac arrest a strategy of endotracheal intubation was superior to bag-mask ventilation and led to favourable neurological outcomes?

The PART trial by Wang demonstrated an improved rate of survival in out of hospital cardiac arrest when airway management was delivered by the laryngeal tube vs intubation?

The black horizontal line is found on all sizes of i-gels and should always be visible after insertion at the level of the teeth?

i-gels will tend to leak at lower ventilatory pressures than cuffed endotracheal tubes?

First pass success of supraglottic devices in cardiac arrest has been shown by Lesnick to be associated with better 72 hour survival?
