Title: Successful tracheal intubation using fiberoptic bronchoscope via an I-gelâ„¢ supraglottic airway in a pediatric patient with Goldenhar syndrome -A case report-. Cord-id: hmbvrrei Document date: 2013_1_1

Snippet: The I-gelâ„¢ is a single-use supraglottic airway device introduced in 2007 which features a non-inflatable cuff and allows passage of a tracheal tube owing to its large diameter and short length of the airway tube. In this case, the authors experienced a difficult airway management on a 4-year-old boy with underlying Goldenhar syndrome who underwent a tonsillectomy. Intubation using a laryngoscope was unsuccessful at the first attempt. In the following attempt, we used the I-gelâ„¢ supraglottic
Document: The I-gelâ„¢ is a single-use supraglottic airway device introduced in 2007 which features a non-inflatable cuff and allows passage of a tracheal tube owing to its large diameter and short length of the airway tube. In this case, the authors experienced a difficult airway management on a 4-year-old boy with underlying Goldenhar syndrome who underwent a tonsillectomy. Intubation using a laryngoscope was unsuccessful at the first attempt. In the following attempt, we used the I-gelâ„¢ supraglottic airway for ventilation and were able to achieve successful intubation with a cuffed tube by using fiberoptic bronchoscope through the I-gelâ„¢ supraglottic airway. The authors suggest that I-gelâ„¢ is a useful device for ventilation and it has many advantages for tracheal intubation in pediatric patients with difficult airway.
