Chronological change in oropharyngeal leak pressure of pediatric i‐gel™

Abstract

Sir-The i-gel™ (Intersurgical, Wokingham, UK) is a single-use supraglottic airway device with a noninflatable cuff made of a soft, gel-like thermoplastic elastomer. It was previously reported that oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) of i-gel™ improved over time after insertion in adults.1 However, there is limited evidence regarding the change in sealing ability of pediatric i-gel™ .
