They also represent one third of claims in adult patients and in pediatrics, they are the most
common causes of morbidity and mortality.
So that:
A Detailed knowledge of the normal pediatric airway is so important.
Supraglottic Airway Devices(SADs)
They are designed to maintain a clear airway while sitting
above and creating a seal around the larynx.
Only one attempt of blind intubation was After insertion of E.T.T & confrmation
allowed. of the position,the fiberscope was
.removed
:In both groups
A second person was present to stabilize the I-gel in
the set position to prevent unintentional movement
during the intubation procedure & removal of I-gel.
E.T.T insertion was confirmed by capnography,
fiberscope, bilateral chest auscultation ,after
connecting the breathing circuit.
I-gel was withdrwan with the aid of a stylet(stabilizer)
in a continous push-pull movement.

Results
Statistical analysis
Statistical package for social science (SPSS) software Microsoft-1
Windows was used for data analysis
Data distribution was assessed for normality using Kolmogorov-Smirnov-2
test and was presented as mean (standard deviation) , median
.(interquartile range) and percentage
Comparison of the means of the study groups using student t-test or-3
.Mann Whitney test
Comparison of the categorical data using chi square(x2)test or fisher-4

Like our study, Sameer et al had Bharat et al had reached a 75% at first
reported that I-gel is an inferior device attempt blind intubation through I-
for blind intubation in comparison gel.investigated a stroke volume variation-
with the LMA Fastrach in age group(18- .guided protocol in brain surgeries
. 60) with a success rate of 66% Geeta et al had reached a 95% at first
Pavel et al reported that blind attempt blind intubation through I-gel
intubation through I-gel showed a low
success rate,While fiberoptic
intubation through both ILMA&I-gel
is a highly successful technique
Sastre et al reached a success rate
of 40%for blind intubation through I-
.gel in adults
Aya et al reported that I-gel is a good
conduit for fiberoptic guided
.intubation in pediatrics
Jagannathan et al concluded that I-gel
is a good conduit for fiberoptic guided
. intubation in children
Conclusion
Our study is considered a step in the management of difficult airways especially
poor success rate, our study introduce that idea which may be applicable with
intubation in that age group and the application of fiberoscope through I-gel
makes a good access to the vocal cords with no need for excessive manipulations
especially unexperienced.
Recommendations
We recommend in the further studies
to be applied on difficult airways to
assess the success rate in these cases
and to use different SADs in pediatric
population and assessing their success
rate as a conduit for endotracheal
intubation.
