Effect of Head-neck Rotation on I-gel™ Insertion
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
According to previous studies, head and neck rotation reduces the tongue from being rolled back by gravity, which resulted in increasing patency of the upper airway. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to verify whether head and neck rotation increases the first attempt success rate of i-gel™.

Detailed Description
I-gel™ insertion has been reported that the success rate of insertion on the first attempt is 78.5%. There may be several causes of insertion failure. Tongue folding is a major obstacle preventing appropriate i-gel™ placement. To solve this problem, the previous study has proven the efficacy of the rotational technical for I-gel™ insertion and reported a success rate of 97%.
However, the rotation of i-gel™ in the oral cavity may be limited, and it may take some learning curve to get used to it. According to previous studies, head and neck rotation increases the cross-sectional area of the upper airway, which resulted in increasing patency of the upper airway. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to verify whether head and neck rotation increases the first attempt success rate of i-gel™.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Active Comparator: Standard method Insert I-gel™ according to the manufacturer's instruction. Take the sniffing position and gently move the i-gel™ along the hard palate to the soft palate and the posterior oropharynx. |
Procedure: Standard method
Insert I-gel™ according to the manufacturer's instruction. Take the sniffing position and gently move the i-gel™ along the hard palate to the soft palate and the posterior oropharynx.
|
| Experimental: Head-neck rotation After rotating the patient's head and neck to the left maximally, insert the i-gel™ from the right side of the tongue to the midline. When the tip reaches the soft palate and oropharynx positions, turn the head and neck back to the neutral position. |
Procedure: Hean and Neck Rotation
After rotating the patient's head and neck to the left maximally, insert the i-gel™ from the right side of the tongue to the midline. When the tip reaches the soft palate and oropharynx positions, turn the head and neck back to the neutral position.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- First attempt success rate [Induction of anesthesia during intraoperative period]
After the first attempt on insertion of i-gel™ without withdrawal or redirection, the effectiveness of the airway is judged based on a square-wave capnograph and no audible leak with peak airway pressures ≥ 10 cmH2O during manual ventilation.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Second attempt success rate [Induction of anesthesia during intraoperative period]
After the second attempt on insertion of i-gel™, the effectiveness of the airway is judged based on a square-wave capnograph and no audible leak with peak airway pressures ≥ 10 cmH2O during manual ventilation.
- Insertion time for successful insertion; s [Induction of anesthesia during intraoperative period]
Time from insertion of i-gel™ into the oral cavity until appropriate placement.
- Time required for successful insertion; s [Induction of anesthesia during intraoperative period]
Time insertion of i-gel™ into the oral cavity until After the first attempt on insertion of i-gel™ without withdrawal or redirection, the effectiveness of the airway is judged based on a square-wave capnograph and no audible leak with peak airway pressures ≥ 10 cmH2O during manual ventilation.
- Third attempt [Induction of anesthesia during intraoperative period]
If the attempt of assigned method fails twice, then try third attempt.
- Third attempt success rate [Induction of anesthesia during intraoperative period]
If the attempt of assigned method fails, but the third attempt is successful with another method.
- Manipulations required rate [Induction of anesthesia during intraoperative period]
An assistant assists when all attempt fail.
- Change to intubation [Induction of anesthesia during intraoperative period]
Conversion rate from insertion of i-gel™ to tracheal intubation.
- Blood staining after extubation [Induction of anesthesia during intraoperative period]
Blood stating to evaluate the postoperative complication and outcome in patients received each intubation method during surgery
- Sore throat after extubation [Extubation during intraoperative period]
Sore throat to evaluate the postoperative complication and outcome in patients received each intubation method during surgery
- Hoarseness after extubation [Extubation during intraoperative period]
Hoarseness to evaluate the postoperative complication and outcome in patients received each intubation method during surgery
- Sore throat at 24 hours after surgery [24 hours after surgery (up to 24hours)]
Sore throat to evaluate the postoperative complication and outcome in patients received each intubation method during surgery
- Hoarseness at 24 hours after surgery [24 hours after surgery (up to 24hours)]
Hoarseness to evaluate the postoperative complication and outcome in patients received each intubation method during surgery
