Laparoscopy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed by gynecologists. Although the ideal role of laparoscopy in gynecologic surgery continues to be defined, it has become a standard approach for a numerous gynecologic procedures. The i-gel is a novel device that differs from other supraglottic airway devices in that it has a softer and a non-infatable cuff. Our study was assess whether the i-gel is suitable to provide pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) during anesthesia in laparoscopic surgery by measuring the gas leaks and comparing these values with that of the tracheal tube.
Согласно результатам нашего исследования, не было достоверной разницы между объемом и фракцией утечки при проведении ИВЛ во время анестезии в лапароскопической гинекологии, что позволяет использовать ларингеальную маску i-gel в качестве разумной альтернативы эндотрахеальной трубке.
