The I-gel is a new single-use supraglottic airway device with a non-inflatable cuff. It is composed of a thermoplastic elastomer and a soft gel-like cuff that adapts to the hypopharyngeal anatomy. Like the LMA-ProSeal, it has an airway tube and a gastric drain tube. Little is known about its efficiency in pediatric anesthesia.

    GI occurred in 78 children. GI occurred in 95% of children younger than 1 year, in 93% of children aged 1 to 5 years, and 56% of children older than 5 years (P = 0.001). The pressure threshold at which GI occurred increased with age: the younger the child, the lower the GI pressure threshold. Tidal...

    We report the case of a sudden decrease in pulse oxymetry during surgical exploration of wound of the face in a child. This was preceded by the injection of patent blue, used for vascular cartography, and interfering with pulse oxymetry. After excluding real oxygen desaturation, this error of measur...
