Evaluation of I ‐Gel™ size 2 airway in different degrees of neck flexion in anesthetized children – a prospective, self‐controlled trial

ConclusionWe conclude that 15° neck flexion can safely be applied without compromising ventilation with the I‐Gel™ in anesthetized paralyzed children. However, Flexion of 30° or more warrants caution or the use of alternative devices like an endotracheal tube due to increase in PIP and worsening of ventilation score.
