Introduction

The I-gel supraglottic airway device (Intersurgical Ltd, Wokingham,

Berkshire, UK) was developed in 2007 to overcome the limitations of Proseal

laryngeal mask airway (PLMA). It is made up of a thermoplastic elastomer (SEBS -

styrene ethylene butadiene styrene) with a soft durometer (hardness), which has a

gel-like feel. [1]

It was designed to create a non-inflatable, anatomical seal of the pharyngeal,

laryngeal and perilaryngeal structures while avoiding compression trauma. The shape,

softness and contour accurately mirror the perilaryngeal anatomy to create the perfect

fit, so that compression and displacement trauma are significantly reduced. It has

cheaper manufacturing costs due to the simplicity of design. [2, 3]

Various visual assessment tools for airway assessment have been developed.

The Cormack-Lehane scoring system is associated with the view of the oral anatomy

from direct laryngoscopy. Due to the scoring being associated with the view from a

laryngoscope, this scoring system is most commonly used in an operating room or

anesthesiology setting. [4]

The Mallampati scoring system is similar to the Cormack-Lehane system

except that, instead of evaluating the view from direct laryngoscopy, the view is
